1 Every for high–priest from men having been taken, on behalf of men is placed over the things relating to the God, so that he may offer gifts both and sacrifices on behalf of sins;

2 to suffer a measure being able with the ignorant ones and erring ones, since also himself surrounds weakness;

3 and on account of this it is fitting, as concerning the people, so also concerning himself to offer on behalf of sins.

4 And not to himself any one takes the honor, but he being called by the God, as even Aaron.

5 Thus and the Anointed not himself did glorify to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him: A son of me art thou, I to–day have begotten thee;

6 as also in another he says: Thou a priest for the age, according to the order of Melchizedek.

7 Who in the days of the flesh of himself, prayers both and supplications to him being able to deliver him out of death, with a cry strong and tears having offered, and having been heard from the piety,

8 (though being a son, learned, from what things he suffered, the obedience;

9 and having been perfected he became to those obeying him to all a cause of salvation age–lasting,

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

11 Concerning whom great to us the word and hard to be explained to say, since sluggish ones you have become in the hearing.

12 Even for being obligated to be teachers on account of the time, again need you have of the to teach you, certain the elements of the beginning of the oracles of the God; and you have become need having of milk, and not of solid food.

13 Every one for the partaking of milk, unskilled of a word of righteousness; a babe for he is;

14 for perfect ones but is the solid food, for those by the habit the perceptions having been exercised having for a discrimination of good both and evil.

1 Every high priest taken from among men is appointed in behalf of men in things relating to God. He may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He is able to exercise compassion towards the ignorant and those going astray, since he is also subject to weakness.

3 That is why he must offer sacrifices, for his own and for the people’s sins.

4 No one takes this honor upon himself. He is called by God, even as Aaron was.

5 Also Christ did not glorify himself to be made a high priest. It was God who said to him: »You are my Son; I today have become your father.«

6 As he said in another place:« You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.«

7 In the days of his life on earth, when he Christ offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to the one who was able to save him out of death, and was heard because of his godly reverence. (Galatians 1:1) (Psalm 69:13)

8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.

9 Being made perfect, he became the source causechannelconduitpathwayfacilitator of eternal salvation to all who obey him. (Psalm 3:8)

10 He was called by God to be a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

11 We have many things to say about him and it is hard to explain it to you, for you are dull of hearing slow to learn.

12 At this time you should be teachers. But you need someone to teach you again from the beginning the elementary truths from the Word of God. You need milk, not solid food.

13 Everyone who drinks milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14 But solid food belongs to mature people. It belongs to those who by reason of use have their senses trained to know the difference between good and evil.
