Hebrews 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 For every high priest, having been taken from among men, is appointed on behalf of men toward the things which pertain to God, so that he may offer gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins;	1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 he is able to commiserate with those who are ignorant and who wander astray, because he himself is also encompassed by infirmity.	2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 And because of this, he also must make such offerings for sins even for himself, in the same manner as for the people.	3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4 Neither does anyone take up this honor himself, but rather he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.	4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5 Thus, even Christ did not glorify himself, so as to become High Priest, but instead, it was God who said to him: “You are my Son. Today I have begotten you.”	5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 And similarly, he says in another place: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”	6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
7 It is Christ who, in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offered prayers and supplications to the One who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence.	7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 And although, certainly, he is the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things that he suffered.	8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And having reached his consummation, he was made, for all who are obedient to him, the cause of eternal salvation,	9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 having been called by God to be the High Priest, according to the order of Melchizedek.	10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Our message about him is great, and difficult to explain when speaking, because you have been made feeble when listening.	11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 For even though it is the time when you ought to be teachers, you are still lacking, so that you must be taught the things that are the basic elements of the Word of God, and so you have been made like those who are in need of milk, and not of solid food.	12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For anyone who is still feeding on milk is still unskillful in the Word of Justice; for he is like an infant.	13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But solid food is for those who are mature, for those who, by practice, have sharpened their mind, so as to discern good from evil.	14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
