Hebrews 5:4-10
New King James Version
4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as (A)Aaron was.
A Priest Forever
5 (B)So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:
(C)“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.”
6 As He also says in another place:
(D)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;
7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had (E)offered up prayers and supplications, (F)with vehement cries and tears to Him (G)who was able to save Him from death, and was heard (H)because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned (I)obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And (J)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 10 called by God as High Priest (K)“according to the order of Melchizedek,”

Hebrews 5:4-10
American Standard Version
4 And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron. 5 So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him,
[a]Thou art my Son,
This day have I begotten thee:
6 as he saith also in another place,
[b]Thou art a priest for ever
After the order of Melchizedek.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him [c]from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the [d]author of eternal salvation; 10 named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
