Bawat Kataas-taasang Pari ay pinili mula sa mga tao at itinalaga upang mangasiwa sa mga bagay na may kaugnayan sa Diyos para sa kanilang kapakanan—ang maghandog ng mga kaloob at ng mga alay para sa mga kasalanan. May kakayanan siyang makitungo na may kaamuan sa mga mangmang at naliligaw, dahil siya mismo ay mayroon ding kahinaan. Dahil (A) dito ay kailangan niyang maghandog para sa kanyang sariling mga kasalanan, kung paanong kailangan din niyang maghandog para sa kasalanan ng taong-bayan. Hindi (B) maaaring kunin ng sinuman sa kanyang sariling kagustuhan ang karangalan ng pagiging Kataas-taasang Pari malibang siya ay tinawag ng Diyos tulad ni Aaron.

Gayundin (C) si Cristo; hindi niya pinarangalan ang kanyang sarili upang maging Kataas-taasang Pari. Sa halip, siya ay itinalaga ng Diyos na nagsabi sa kanya,

“Ikaw ang Anak ko,
    Ako, sa araw na ito, ang nagsilang sa iyo.”

Sinabi (D) rin niya sa ibang bahagi ng Kasulatan,

“Ikaw ay pari magpakailanman,
    ayon sa pagkapari ni Melquizedek.”

Noong (E) nabubuhay pa si Jesus dito sa lupa,[a] kalakip ang malakas na pagtangis at pagluha ay naghandog siya ng mga panalangin at mga pakiusap sa Diyos na may kapangyarihang magligtas sa kanya mula sa kamatayan, at siya'y pinakinggan dahil sa kanyang banal na pagpapasakop. Kahit na siya'y Anak, natutunan niya ang pagsunod sa pamamagitan ng mga bagay na kanyang tiniis. Nang siya ay naging ganap, siya ang pinagmulan ng walang hanggang kaligtasan ng lahat ng mga sumusunod sa kanya; 10 yamang siya'y itinalaga ng Diyos bilang Kataas-taasang Pari ayon sa pagkapari ni Melquizedek.

Babala Laban sa Pagtalikod sa Pananampalataya

11 Marami pa kaming masasabi tungkol dito ngunit mahirap ipaliwanag dahil mabagal kayong umunawa.[b] 12 Katunayan, (F) sa panahong ito'y dapat tagapagturo na sana kayo; subalit kailangan pa rin ninyong turuan ng mga panimulang aralin ukol sa Salita ng Diyos. Gatas pa rin ang kailangan ninyo, at hindi solidong pagkain. 13 Sapagkat sinumang umaasa pa sa gatas ay hindi pa sanay sa salita ng katuwiran, dahil sanggol pa lamang. 14 Ngunit ang solidong pagkain ay para sa mga nasa hustong gulang, sa kanila na sa palagiang paggamit ay nasanay na sa pag-alam ng pagkakaiba ng mabuti at masama.

  2. Mga Hebreo 5:11 Sa Griyego, mapurol sa pakikinig.

Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God,(A) to offer gifts and sacrifices(B) for sins.(C) He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray,(D) since he himself is subject to weakness.(E) This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.(F) And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.(G)

In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory(H) of becoming a high priest.(I) But God said(J) to him,

“You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father.”[a](K)

And he says in another place,

“You are a priest forever,
    in the order of Melchizedek.(L)[b](M)

During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions(N) with fervent cries and tears(O) to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard(P) because of his reverent submission.(Q) Son(R) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered(S) and, once made perfect,(T) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest(U) in the order of Melchizedek.(V)

Warning Against Falling Away(W)

11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths(X) of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!(Y) 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,(Z) is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature,(AA) who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.(AB)

  1. Hebrews 5:5 Psalm 2:7
  2. Hebrews 5:6 Psalm 110:4

Pues todo sumo sacerdote que es tomado de entre los hombres es constituido para servicio a favor de los hombres delante de Dios, para que ofrezca ofrendas y sacrificios por los pecados. Él puede sentir compasión de los ignorantes y de los extraviados, ya que él también está rodeado de debilidad. Y por causa de esta debilidad debe ofrecer sacrificio, tanto por sus propios pecados como por los del pueblo. Y nadie toma esta honra para sí sino porque ha sido llamado por Dios, como lo fue Aarón.

Así también Cristo no se glorificó a sí mismo para ser hecho sumo sacerdote sino que lo glorificó el que le dijo:

Hijo mío eres tú;

yo te he engendrado hoy[a].

Como también dice en otro lugar:

Tú eres sacerdote para siempre

según el orden de Melquisedec[b].

Cristo, en los días de su vida física, habiendo ofrecido ruegos y súplicas con fuerte clamor y lágrimas al que lo podía librar de la muerte, fue oído por su temor reverente. Aunque era Hijo, aprendió la obediencia por lo que padeció. Y habiendo sido perfeccionado, llegó a ser Autor de eterna salvación para todos los que le obedecen, 10 y fue proclamado por Dios sumo sacerdote según el orden de Melquisedec.

Advertencia a los inmaduros

11 De esto tenemos mucho que decir, aunque es difícil de explicar, porque ustedes han llegado a ser tardos para oír. 12 Debiendo ser ya maestros por el tiempo transcurrido, de nuevo tienen necesidad de que alguien los instruya desde los primeros rudimentos de las palabras de Dios. Han llegado a tener necesidad de leche y no de alimento sólido. 13 Pues todo el que se alimenta de leche no es capaz de entender la palabra de la justicia, porque aún es niño. 14 Pero el alimento sólido es para los maduros; para los que, por la práctica, tienen los sentidos entrenados para discernir entre el bien y el mal.

Qualifications for High Priesthood

For every high priest taken from among men (A)is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can [a]have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to (B)weakness. Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for (C)himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as (D)Aaron was.

A Priest Forever

(E)So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:

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

As He also says in another place:

(G)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;

who, in the days of His flesh, when He had (H)offered up prayers and supplications, (I)with vehement cries and tears to Him (J)who was able to save Him from death, and was heard (K)because of His godly fear, though He was a Son, yet He learned (L)obedience by the things which He suffered. And (M)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 10 called by God as High Priest (N)“according to the order of Melchizedek,” 11 of whom (O)we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become (P)dull of hearing.

Spiritual Immaturity

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the [b]oracles of God; and you have come to need (Q)milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is (R)a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are [c]of full age, that is, those who by reason of [d]use have their senses exercised (S)to discern both good and evil.
