Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest taken from men is appointed for men in things toward God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For every hye prest that is taken from amoge men is ordeyned for men in thynges pertaynynge to god: to offer gyftes and sacryfyses for synne:

2 Who can be gentle to those who are ignorant and led astray, since he himself is also encompassed with weakness.

which can have compassion on the ignoraunt and on them that are out of the waye because that he him silfe also is compased with infirmitie:

3 And because of this he is obligated, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

For the which infirmities sake he is bounde to offer for synnes as well for hys awne parte as for the peoples.

4 And not any man takes the honor to himself, but being called by God, just as also Aaron.

And no man taketh honour vnto him silfe but he that is called of God as was Aaron.

5 So also Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

Even so lykewise Christ glorified not him silfe to be made the hye prest: but he that sayde vnto him: thou arte my sonne this daye begat I the glorified him.

6 (And just as he says in another, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.) (aiōn g165)

As he also in another place speaketh: Thou arte a prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)

7 Who, in the days of his flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications with strong shouting and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence,

Which in the dayes of his flesshe did offer vp prayers and sup plicacions with stronge cryinge and teares vnto him that was able to save him from deeth: and was also hearde because of his godlines.

8 although being a Son, he learned obedience from the things that he suffered.

And though he were Goddes sonne yet learned he obediece by tho thynges which he suffered

9 And having been fully perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation to all those who obey him, (aiōnios g166)

and was made parfaite and the cause of eternall saluacion vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)

10 having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

and is called of God an hye prest after the order of Melchisedech.

11 About whom, much subject matter from us is also difficult to explain, since ye have become sluggish in hearing.

Wherof we have many thynges to saye which are harde to be vttered: because ye are dull of hearinge.

12 For also men who ought to be teachers because of the time, ye have need again for some man to teach you the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God, and have become men who have need of milk, and not of solid food.

For when as cocerninge ye tyme ye ought to be teachers yet have ye nede agayne that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of god: and are become soche as have nede of mylke and not of stronge meate:

13 For every man partaking of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is childlike.

For every man that is feed with mylke is inexperte in the worde of rightewesnes. For he is but a babe.

14 But solid food is for mature men, those having their sensibilities trained through practice for the discernment of both good and evil.

But stronge meate belongeth to them that are parfecte which thorow custome have their wittes exercised to iudge both good and evyll also.
