Hebrews 5

1 Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For every hye prest that is taken from amoge men is ordeyned for men in thynges pertaynynge to god: to offer gyftes and sacryfyses for synne:

2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.

which can have compassion on the ignoraunt and on them that are out of the waye because that he him silfe also is compased with infirmitie:

3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

For the which infirmities sake he is bounde to offer for synnes as well for hys awne parte as for the peoples.

4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

And no man taketh honour vnto him silfe but he that is called of God as was Aaron.

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.”

Even so lykewise Christ glorified not him silfe to be made the hye prest: but he that sayde vnto him: thou arte my sonne this daye begat I the glorified him.

6 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)

As he also in another place speaketh: Thou arte a prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)

7 During 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.

Which in the dayes of his flesshe did offer vp prayers and sup plicacions with stronge cryinge and teares vnto him that was able to save him from deeth: and was also hearde because of his godlines.

8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.

And though he were Goddes sonne yet learned he obediece by tho thynges which he suffered

9 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him (aiōnios g166)

and was made parfaite and the cause of eternall saluacion vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)

10 and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

and is called of God an hye prest after the order of Melchisedech.

11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.

Wherof we have many thynges to saye which are harde to be vttered: because ye are dull of hearinge.

12 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!

For when as cocerninge ye tyme ye ought to be teachers yet have ye nede agayne that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of god: and are become soche as have nede of mylke and not of stronge meate:

13 For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.

For every man that is feed with mylke is inexperte in the worde of rightewesnes. For he is but a babe.

14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.

But stronge meate belongeth to them that are parfecte which thorow custome have their wittes exercised to iudge both good and evyll also.
