And (A)no one takes this honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even (B)as Aaron was.

In this way also Christ (C)did not glorify Himself to become a (D)high priest, but He who (E)said to Him,

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

just as He says also in another passage,

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

Although He was (M)a Son, He learned (N)obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been made (O)perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, 10 being designated by God as (P)a high priest according to (Q)the order of Melchizedek.
