Hebrews 5 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Perfect High Priest

Heb 5:1

Heb 5:1For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

Heb 5:2

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

Heb 5:3

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

Heb 5:4

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

Heb 5:5

Heb 5:5So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him,
“YOU ARE MY SON,
TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU”;

Heb 5:6

Heb 5:6just as He says also in another passage,
“YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER
ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

Heb 5:7

Heb 5:7[fn]In the days of His flesh, [fn]He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him [fn]from death, and He [fn]was heard because of His piety.

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 made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

Heb 5:10

Heb 5:10being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Heb 5:11

Heb 5:11Concerning [fn]him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

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 oracles 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 not accustomed to 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 discern good and evil.
