Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest, who is from among men, is established over the things of God, in behalf of men, that he may present the offering and the sacrifices for sin:

For euery hie Priest is taken from among men, and is ordeined for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both giftes and sacrifices for sinnes,

2 and he can humble himself, and sympathize with the ignorant and the erring, because he also is clothed with infirmity.

Which is able sufficiently to haue compassion on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that hee also is compassed with infirmitie,

3 And, therefore, he is obliged as for the people, so also for himself, to present an offering for his sins.

And for the sames sake he is bound to offer for sinnes, as well for his own part, as for ye peoples.

4 And no one taketh this honor on himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron was.

And no man taketh this honor vnto him selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

5 So also the Messiah did not exalt himself to become a High Priest; but He appointed him who said to him, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

So likewise Christ tooke not to him selfe this honour, to be made the hie Priest, but hee that sayd vnto him, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee, gaue it him.

6 As he said also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, after the likeness of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)

As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest for euer, after ye order of Melchi-sedec. (aiōn g165)

7 Likewise, when he was clothed in flesh, he presented supplication and entreaty with intense invocation, and with tears, to him who was able to resuscitate him from death; and he was heard.

Who in the dayes of his flesh did offer vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares vnto him, that was able to saue him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared.

8 And though he was a son, yet, from the fear and the sufferings he endured, he learned obedience.

And though he were ye Sonne, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered.

9 And thus he was perfected and became the cause of eternal life to all them who obey him. (aiōnios g166)

And being consecrate, was made the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)

10 And he was named of God, the High Priest after the likeness of Melchisedec.

And is called of God an hie Priest after the order of Melchi-sedec.

11 Now, concerning this person, Melchisedec, we have much discourse, which we might utter; but it is difficult to explain it, because ye are infirm in your hearing.

Of whome we haue many things to say, which are hard to be vttered, because ye are dull of hearing.

12 For ye ought to be teachers, seeing ye have been long in the doctrine. But now ye need to learn again the first lines of the commencement of the oracles of God: and ye have need of milk, and not of strong food.

For when as concerning ye time ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye neede againe that we teach you what are the first principles of the worde of God: and are become such as haue neede of milke, and not of strong meate.

13 For every one whose food is milk, is unversed in the language of righteousness, because he is a child.

For euery one that vseth milke, is inexpert in the worde of righteousnes: for he is a babe.

14 But strong food belongeth to the mature who, being investigators, have trained their faculties to discriminate good and evil.

But strong meate belongeth to them that are of age, which through long custome haue their wits exercised, to discerne both good and euill.
