The Perfect High Priest
Every high priest is appointed vvv from among men to represent [them] in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness. 3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for [the sins of] the people.
4No one takes [this] honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron [was]. 5 So also Christ {did} not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but [He was called] by the [One who] said to Him:
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father
6And in another [passage] [God] says:
“You [are] a priest vvv vvv forever
in the order of Melchizedek.”[fn]
7During the days of [Jesus’] earthly [life], He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the [One who] could save Him from death, and He was heard because of [His] reverence. 8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered. 9 And having been made perfect, He became [the] source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him 10 [and] was designated by God [as] high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11Milk and Solid Food
We [have] much to say about [this], [but it is] hard to explain because you are dull of hearing. 12 Although by [this] time you ought to be teachers, you need [someone] to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word.[fn] vvv vvv You need milk, not solid food!
13For everyone who lives on milk is [still] an infant, inexperienced in [the] message of righteousness. 14 But solid food is [for the] mature, who by constant use have trained [their] senses to distinguish good [from] evil.
