Hebrews 5:4-10
Wycliffe Bible
4 Neither any man taketh to him honour, but he that is called of God, as Aaron was.
5 So [and] Christ clarified not himself, that he were bishop, but he that spake to him, Thou art my Son, to day I engendered thee [to day I gendered thee].
6 As [and] in another place he saith, Thou art a priest without end [Thou art a priest into without end], after the order of Melchisedec.
7 Which in the days of his flesh offered, with great cry and tears, prayers and beseechings to him that might make him safe from death, and was heard for his reverence.
8 And when he was God's Son, he learned obedience of these things that he suffered;
9 and he brought to the end is made cause of everlasting health [and he led to perfection is made cause of everlasting health] to all that obey him,
10 and is called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchisedec. [called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchisedec.]

Hebrews 5:4-10
New Matthew Bible
4 And no man takes honour to himself, but he who is called by God, as was Aaron. 5 So also likewise, Christ did not glorify himself to be made the high priest, but he who said to him, You are my Son, this day I have begotten you, glorified him. 6 As he also in another place speaks: You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.
7 He, in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was also heard, because of his godliness. 8 And though he was God’s Son, yet he learned obedience by those things that he suffered, 9 and was made perfect, and the author of eternal salvation for all who obey him, 10 and is called by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 5:4-10
Authorized (King James) Version
4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
