Hebrews 5:1-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

5 For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

² Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

³ And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

⁴ Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

⁵ So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
