In context
AI-assisted, sourcedHebrews 5:1-10Christ called as high priest
About Hebrews 5Every high priest is taken from among men to "offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins," and "no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron." So Christ did not glorify himself but was named "a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec," and "Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered," becoming "the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him." The writer has much to say but the readers are "dull of hearing," needing "milk, and not of strong meat," which belongs to those whose senses are "exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5:1Hebrews 5:4Hebrews 5:5Hebrews 5:6Hebrews 5:8Hebrews 5:9Hebrews 5:11Hebrews 5:12Hebrews 5:14
Why this verse matters here"Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." This quotes Psalm 110:4. Hebrews 5:6Psalms 110:4
