Hebrews 5

1 For euery hie Priest is taken from among men, and is ordeined for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both giftes and sacrifices for sinnes,

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 Which is able sufficiently to haue compassion on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that hee also is compassed with infirmitie,

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 And for the sames sake he is bound to offer for sinnes, as well for his own part, as for ye peoples.

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

4 And no man taketh this honor vnto him selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

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

5 So likewise Christ tooke not to him selfe this honour, to be made the hie Priest, but hee that sayd vnto him, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee, gaue it him.

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 As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest for euer, after ye order of Melchi-sedec. (aiōn g165)

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

7 Who in the dayes of his flesh did offer vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares vnto him, that was able to saue him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared.

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 And though he were ye Sonne, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered.

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

9 And being consecrate, was made the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)

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

10 And is called of God an hie Priest after the order of Melchi-sedec.

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

11 Of whome we haue many things to say, which are hard to be vttered, because ye are dull of hearing.

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

12 For when as concerning ye time ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye neede againe that we teach you what are the first principles of the worde of God: and are become such as haue neede of milke, and not of strong meate.

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 euery one that vseth milke, is inexpert in the worde of righteousnes: for he is a babe.

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

14 But strong meate belongeth to them that are of age, which through long custome haue their wits exercised, to discerne both good and euill.

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