(14)Having therefore a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. (15)For we have not a high priest who can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but who has in all points been tempted in like manner, without sin. (16)Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. V. 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; (2)being able to bear with the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is encompassed with infirmity; (3)and on account of it he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to make offering for sins. (4)And no one takes to himself the honor, but being called by God, as was also Aaron. (5)So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made high priest, but he who spoke to him: Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee; (6)as also in another place, he says: Thou art a priest forever, After the order of Melchizedek; (7)who, in the days of his flesh offering up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard on account of his godly fear, (8)though a Son yet learned from what he suffered the [required] obedience, (9)and being perfected became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him; (10)called by God, High Priest[5:10], after the order of Melchizedek. (11)Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be explained, since ye have become dull of hearing. (12)For though ye ought, on account of the time, to be teachers, ye again have need that some one teach you the first principles of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. (13)For every one who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness; for he is a child. (14)But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, who by use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. VI.
