Hebrews 5
The scripture text is the public-domain World English Bible. “Diesel the Magus Version” names this study edition, comparison system, and commentary lens—not a hidden rewrite of the biblical text.
For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
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:
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
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.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."
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.
As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek."
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
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;
though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
For when by reason of the time you ought to be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
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.
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
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.
