Hebrews 5:4-10

Amplified Bible

⁴And besides, one does not appropriate for himself the honor [of being high priest], but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

⁵So too Christ did not glorify Himself so as to be made a high priest, but He [was exalted and appointed by the One] who said to Him,

“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten (fathered) You [declared Your authority and rule over the nations]”;^(A)

⁶just as He also says in another place,

“You are a priest [appointed] forever
According to the order of ^[a]Melchizedek.”^(B)

⁷In the days of His earthly life, Jesus offered up both [specific] petitions and [urgent] supplications [for that which He needed] with fervent crying and tears to the One who was [always] able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverent submission toward God [His sinlessness and His unfailing determination to do the Father’s will]. ⁸Although He was a Son [who had never been disobedient to the Father], He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered. ⁹And having been made perfect [uniquely equipped and prepared as Savior and retaining His integrity amid opposition], He became the source of eternal salvation [an eternal inheritance] to all those who obey Him,^(C) ¹⁰being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of ^[b]Melchizedek.^(D)
