CHAP. V. / 1 The authoritie and honour of our Sauiours Priesthood. 11 Negligence in the knowledge thereof is reprooued.

1For euery high Priest taken from among men, is ordeined for men in things pertaining to God that hee may offer both giftes & sacrifices for sins.Select Hebrews 5:1

2Who can haue compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way, for that he himselfe also is compassed with infirmitie.Select Hebrews 5:2

3And by reason heereof hee ought for the people, so also for himselfe, to offer for sinnes.Select Hebrews 5:3

4And no man taketh this honour vnto himselfe, but hee that is called of God, as was Aaron.Select Hebrews 5:4

5So also, Christ glorified not himselfe, to bee made an High Priest: but hee that saide vnto him, Thou art my Sonne, to day haue I begotten thee.Select Hebrews 5:5

6As he saith also in another place, Thou art a Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec.Select Hebrews 5:6

7Who in the dayes of his flesh, when hee had offered vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares, vnto him that was able to saue him from death, and was heard, in that he feared.Select Hebrews 5:7

8Though hee were a Sonne, yet learned hee obedience, by the things which he suffered:Select Hebrews 5:8

9And being made perfect, he became the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him,Select Hebrews 5:9

10Called of God an high Priest after the order of Melchisedec:Select Hebrews 5:10

11Of whom we haue many things to say, and hard to be vttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.Select Hebrews 5:11

12For when for the time yee ought to bee teachers, yee haue neede that one teach you againe which be the first principles of the Oracles of God, and are become such as haue need of milke, and not of strong meat.Select Hebrews 5:12

13For euery one that vseth milke, is vnskilful in the word of righteousnes: for he is a babe.Select Hebrews 5:13

14But strong meate belongeth to them that are of full age, euen those who by reason of vse haue their senses exercised to discerne both good and euil.Select Hebrews 5:14
