1 Every high priest is chosen from among other people. He is given the work of going before God for them to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 Since he himself is weak, he is able to be gentle with those who do not understand and who are doing wrong things.
3 Because he is weak, the high priest must offer sacrifices for his own sins and also for the sins of the people.
4 To be a high priest is an honor, but no one chooses himself for this work. He must be called by God as Aaron was.
5 So also Christ did not choose himself to have the honor of being a high priest, but God chose him. God said to him,“You are my Son.Today I have become your Father.”
