Hebrews 5:4 In-Context
2
he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;
3
and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.
4
And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.
5
So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";
6
just as He says also in another passage, "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."
