⁵ So also Christ ^(A)did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

⁶ as he says also in another place,

⁷ In the days of his flesh, ^(D)Jesus^[a] offered up prayers and supplications, ^(E)with loud cries and tears, to him ^(F)who was able to save him from death, and ^(G)he was heard because of his reverence. ⁸ Although ^(H)he was a son, ^(I)he learned obedience through what he suffered. ⁹ And ^(J)being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, ¹⁰ being designated by God a high priest ^(K)after the order of Melchizedek.

²³ Thus it was necessary for ^(A)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. ²⁴ For Christ has entered, not into holy places ^(B)made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God ^(C)on our behalf. ²⁵ Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as ^(D)the high priest enters ^(E)the holy places every year with blood not his own, ²⁶ for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, ^(F)he has appeared ^(G)once for all ^(H)at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. ²⁷ And just as ^(I)it is appointed for man to die once, and ^(J)after that comes judgment, ²⁸ so Christ, having been offered once ^(K)to bear the sins of ^(L)many, will appear ^(M)a second time, ^(N)not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly ^(O)waiting for him.
