The Epistle to the Hebrews

God, who at various times and in different ways
spoke in time past
to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by
His Son...

Chapter 5
- For
every high priest taken from
among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may
offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. (Heb. 2:17; Heb.
8:3)
- He can have compassion on those who
are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also beset by
weakness.
- Because of this he is required as
for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. (Lev. 9:7;
Lev. 16:6; Heb. 9:7)
- And no man takes this honour to
himself; but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was. (Ex. 28:1)
- So also Christ did not glorify
Himself to become high priest, but it was He who said to Him:
"You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You." (Ps. 2:7)
- As
He also says in another place:
"You are a priest
forever
according to the order of Melchizedek." (Ps. 110:4; Heb. 7:8)
- who,
in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications,
with vehement cries and tears to Him who was
able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,
(Ps. 22:1; Ps. 22:24; Matt. 26:37; Matt. 26:53; Luke 23:46)
- though He was a Son, yet He
learned
obedience by the things which He suffered. (Phil. 2:8)
- And having been perfected, He
became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. (Heb. 2:10; Heb. 11:40)
- called by God as High Priest
"according to the order of Melchizedek," (Heb. 6:20)
- of whom we have much to say, and
hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. (Matt. 13:15;
John 16:12; Heb. 6:20)
- For though by this time you ought
to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first
principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and
not solid food. (Heb.
6:1)
- For everyone who partakes only of
milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
(Eph.
4:14)
- But solid food belongs to those
who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
