1 ¶ For 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: See also: Hebrews 8:3 Hebrews 10:11 Leviticus 9:15-21 Hebrews 2:17 Hebrews 7:27
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. See also: Hebrews 4:15 Hebrews 2:18 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Hebrews 7:28 Hebrews 12:13
3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. See also: Leviticus 9:7 Leviticus 16:6 Hebrews 9:7 Hebrews 7:27 Leviticus 4:3-12
4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. See also: Exodus 28:1 Numbers 16:5 Numbers 16:40 1 Chronicles 23:13 2 Chronicles 26:18
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. See also: Psalms 2:7 John 8:54 John 7:18 Acts 13:33 Hebrews 1:5
6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. See also: Psalms 110:4 Hebrews 7:17 Hebrews 7:21 Hebrews 7:3 Genesis 14:18-19
7 Who 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; See also: Luke 22:41-44 Mark 14:32-39 John 17:1 Matthew 27:46 John 17:4-5
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; See also: Philippians 2:8 Hebrews 10:5-9 John 4:34 Isaiah 50:5-6 John 15:10
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; See also: Hebrews 2:10 Hebrews 9:12 Hebrews 9:15 Hebrews 12:2 Acts 5:32
10 ¶ Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. See also: Hebrews 5:5-6 Hebrews 6:20
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. See also: Matthew 13:15 Acts 28:27 2 Peter 3:16 John 16:12 Isaiah 6:10
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye 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 strong meat. See also: Hebrews 6:1 1 Corinthians 3:1-3 1 Peter 2:2 Hebrews 5:13 Isaiah 28:9-10
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. See also: 1 Corinthians 14:20 1 Peter 2:2 2 Timothy 3:16 Isaiah 28:9 Ephesians 4:14
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. See also: 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Philippians 1:9-10 Isaiah 7:15 1 Corinthians 2:6
