1 Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness
3 and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.
4 No one takes this honor upon himself but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him:“You are my son;this day I have begotten you”;
6 just as he says in another place:“You are a priest foreveraccording to the order of Melchizedek.”
