Hebrews 5:4-10
New American Standard Bible
4 And (A)no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just (B)as Aaron also was.
5 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”;
6 just as He also says in another passage,
7 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. 8 Although He was (M)a Son, He learned (N)obedience from the things which He suffered. 9 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.

Hebrews 5:4-10
Lexham English Bible
4 And someone does not take for himself the honor, but is called by God, just as Aaron also was. 5 Thus also Christ did not glorify himself to become high priest, but the one who said to him,
“You are my Son, today I have begotten you,”[a]
6 just as also in another place he says,
7 who in the days of his flesh offered up both prayers and supplications, with loud crying and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard as a result of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered, 9 and being perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
