Hebrews 5:4-10
English Standard Version
4 And (A)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (B)just as Aaron was.
5 So also Christ (C)did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,
(D)“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”;
6 as he says also in another place,
(E)“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
7 In the days of his flesh, (F)Jesus[a] offered up prayers and supplications, (G)with loud cries and tears, to him (H)who was able to save him from death, and (I)he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although (J)he was a son, (K)he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And (L)being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest (M)after the order of Melchizedek.
