< Hebrews 5 >

1 For every high-priest taken from among men, is appointed for the sake of men in things relating to God, that he may 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 who can have due compassion on the ignorant and those that are going astray; seeing he himself also is surrounded with infirmity:
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 this reason he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifice for sins.
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 one taketh this honor to himself, but he that is called by God, 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 glorify himself to be made an high-priest; but He that said unto Him, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
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 saith also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." (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 days of his flesh, offered prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears, to Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in what 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 but though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered: and being thus perfected,
And though he were Goddes sonne yet learned he obediece by tho thynges which he suffered
9 He became the author of eternal salvation to all that obey Him: (aiōnios g166)
and was made parfaite and the cause of eternall saluacion vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)
10 having been declared by God an high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.
and is called of God an hye prest after the order of Melchisedech.
11 Concerning whom we have much to say and difficult to be explained, since ye are 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 whereas ye ought for the time to be teachers of others, ye have need again of some one to teach you the first rudiments of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk and not of 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 every one that wanteth milk, is unacquainted with the doctrine of justification; for he is an infant:
For every man that is feed with mylke is inexperte in the worde of rightewesnes. For he is but a babe.
14 but firm food is for persons come to age, who by habit have their senses exercised to a discernment both of 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.
