Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both 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 The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with 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 Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

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

4 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

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

5 So also Messiah didn’t 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.”

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 says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after 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 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

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 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

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

9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)

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

10 named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

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

11 About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

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

12 For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and 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 not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

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 those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

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