Hebrews 5
King James 2000

Christ, Our Eternal High Priest

1For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

2Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are wayward; for he himself also is beset with weakness.

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

4And no man takes this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

5So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

6As he says also in another place, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

7Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

8Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

9And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

10Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Dull of Hearing, Have Need of Milk

11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to explain, seeing you are dull of hearing.

12For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

13For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14But solid food belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
