Hebrews 5:4-10
Christian Standard Bible

4 No one takes this honor on himself; instead, a person is called by God, just as Aaron was.(A) 5 In the same way, Christ did not exalt himself to become a high priest, but God who said to him,

You are my Son;
today I have become your Father,[a][b] (B)

6 also says in another place,

You are a priest forever
according to the order of Melchizedek.[c](C)

7 During his earthly life,[d] he offered prayers and appeals(D) with loud cries and tears(E) to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was the Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.(F) 9 After he was perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, 10 and he was declared by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 5:4-10
International Standard Version

4 No one takes this honor upon himself but he is called to it by God, just as Aaron was.

The Messiah’s Qualifications as High Priest

5 In the same way, the Messiah[a] did not take upon himself the glory of being a high priest. No, it was God who said[b] to him,

“You are my Son.
    Today I have become your Father.”[c]

6 As he also says in another place,

“You are a priest forever
    according to the order of Melchizedek.”[d]

7 As a mortal man,[e] he offered up prayers and appeals with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his devotion to God. 8 Son though he was, he learned obedience through his sufferings 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, 10 having been designated by God to be a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
