- For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
- Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
- And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
- And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
- So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

- For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;
- he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;
- and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.
- And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.
- So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";
