^18 (A)No one has seen God at any time; ^(B)God the only Son, who is ^(C)in the ^[a]arms of the Father, ^(D)He has ^[b]explained Him.

⁵ So too Christ ^(A)did not glorify Himself in becoming a ^(B)high priest, but it was He who ^(C)said to Him,

⁶ just as He also says in another passage,

⁷ In the days of ^[a]His humanity, ^[b](G)He offered up both prayers and pleas with ^(H)loud crying and tears to the One ^(I)able to save Him ^[c]from death, and He ^[d]was heard because of His ^(J)devout behavior. ⁸ Although He was ^(K)a Son, He learned ^(L)obedience from the things which He suffered. ⁹ And having been ^(M)perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him, ¹⁰ being designated by God as ^(N)High Priest according to ^(O)the order of Melchizedek.

¹¹ Concerning ^[e]him we have much to say, and it is difficult to explain, since you have become ^[f]poor listeners.

^20 (A)where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a ^(B)high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

⁹ By this the love of God was revealed ^[a](A)in us, that ^(B)God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.
