Hebrews 5:1-3
Wycliffe Bible
5 For each bishop taken of men, is ordained for men in these things that be to God [in those things that be to God], that he offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 Which may together sorrow with them, that be unknowing and err [that know not and err]; for also he is environed with infirmity.
3 And therefore he oweth, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Hebrews 5:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 First he showeth the duty of the high Priest: 5 Secondly, that Christ is appointed of God to be our high Priest, 7 and that he hath fulfilled all things belonging thereunto.
1 For [a]every high Priest is taken from among men, and is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God, [b]that he may offer both [c]gifts and [d]sacrifices for sins.
2 Which is [e]able sufficiently to have compassion [f]on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that he also is [g]compassed with infirmity,
3 And for the same sake he is bound to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples.
