1 For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he is also subject to weakness.
3 Because of this, he must make a sin offering for himself as well as for the people.
4 No one takes this honor on himself; instead, a person is called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 In the same way, the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a high priest, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father,
6 also said in another passage, You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
