          DASV: Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest is taken from among the people and
appointed to represent people in things pertaining to God,
so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and erring, since
he himself also is prone to weakness.
3 This is the reason he is required to offer sacrifices for
his own sins as well as for the people.
4 No one takes this honor on himself, but only when he is
called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 So too Christ did not glorify himself to be made a high
priest, but was glorified by him who said to him,
     "You are my Son,
           this day have I fathered you."
6 as he also said in another place,
     "You are a priest forever
           after the order of Melchizedek."
7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and
supplications with loud cries and tears to him who was able
to save him from death, and was heard because of his godly
devotion.
8 Although he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by
the things which he suffered.
9 Having been made perfect, he became to all those who
obey him the source of eternal salvation.
10 So he was designated by God as high priest after the
order of Melchizedek.
11 Concerning whom we have many things to say, and it is
difficult to explain, since you have become hard of hearing.
12 For by this time you ought to be teachers, yet you need
someone to teach you again the basic principles of the
oracles of God. You need milk, and not solid food.
13 For everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word
of righteousness; for he is still an infant.
14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have
their senses trained to discern between good and evil.
