1 For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to represent men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to have compassion on the ignorant and on those who are wayward, for he himself is also subject to weakness.
3 Because of this he must offer sacrifices for his own sins, just as he does for the people.
4 No man takes this honor for himself, but he who is called by God receives it, just as Aaron did.
5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself to be made a High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: “You are My Son;today I have become Your Father.”
