4And no man who is not given authority by God, as Aaron was, takes this honour for himself.
5In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:
6As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
7Who in the days of his flesh, having sent up prayers and requests with strong crying and weeping to him who was able to give him salvation from death, had his prayer answered because of his fear of God.
8And though he was a Son, through the pain which he underwent, the knowledge came to him of what it was to be under God's orders;
9And when he had been made complete, he became the giver of eternal salvation to all those who are under his orders;
10Being named by God a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
