Hebrews 5 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Perfect High Priest

For every^G3956 high^G749 priest^G749 taken^G2983 from among^G1537 men^G444 is appointed^G2525 on^G5228 behalf^G5228 of people^G444 in things pertaining^G4314 to God^G2316, in^G2443 order^G2443 to^G2443 offer^G4374 both^G5037 gifts^G1435 and sacrifices^G2378 for sins^G266;

Heb 5:2

Heb 5:2 [fn]he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is [fn]clothed in weakness;

Heb 5:3

Heb 5:3and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins for himself, as well as for the people.

Heb 5:4

Heb 5:4And no one takes the honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just as Aaron also was.

Heb 5:5

So^G3779 too^G2532 Christ^G5547 did not glorify^G1392 Himself^G1438 in becoming^G1096 a high^G749 priest^G749, but it was He who^G5101 said^G2980 to Him,

“YOU ARE MY SON^G5207,

TODAY^G4594 I HAVE FATHERED^G1080 YOU”;

Heb 5:6

just^G2531 as^G2531 He also^G2532 says^G3004 in another^G2087 passage,

“YOU ARE A PRIEST^G2409 FOREVER^G165

ACCORDING^G2596 TO THE ORDER^G5010 OF MELCHIZEDEK^G3198.”

Heb 5:7

In the days^G2250 of [fn]His humanity^G4561, [fn]He offered^G4374 up^G4374 both^G5037 prayers^G1162 and pleas^G2428 with loud^G2478 crying^G2906 and tears^G1144 to the One able^G1410 to save^G4982 Him [fn]from death^G2288, and He [fn]was heard^G1522 because^G575 of His devout^G2124 behavior^G2124.

Heb 5:8

Heb 5:8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

Heb 5:9

Heb 5:9And having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey Him,

Heb 5:10

Heb 5:10being designated by God as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 5:11

Concerning^G4012 [fn]him we have much^G4183 to say^G3056, and it is difficult^G1421 to^G1421 explain^G1421, since^G1893 you have become^G1096 [fn]poor^G3576 listeners^G189.

Heb 5:12

Heb 5:12For though [fn]by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the [fn]elementary principles of the actual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

Heb 5:13

Heb 5:13For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

Heb 5:14

Heb 5:14But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to distinguish between good and evil.
