And (A)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (B)just as Aaron was.

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”;

as he says also in another place,

(E)“You are a priest forever,
    after the order of Melchizedek.”

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. Although (J)he was a son, (K)he learned obedience through what he suffered. 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.

  1. Hebrews 5:7 Greek he

And (A)no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just (B)as Aaron also was.

So too Christ (C)did not glorify Himself in becoming a (D)high priest, but it was He who (E)said to Him,

(F)You are My Son,
Today I have fathered You”;

just as He also says in another passage,

(G)You are a priest forever
According to (H)the order of Melchizedek.”

In the days of [a]His humanity, [b](I)He offered up both prayers and pleas with (J)loud crying and tears to the One (K)able to save Him [c]from death, and He [d]was heard because of His (L)devout behavior. Although He was (M)a Son, He learned (N)obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been (O)perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him, 10 being designated by God as (P)High Priest according to (Q)the order of Melchizedek.
