Hebrews 5:6

Read in context

Hebrews 5:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

5 So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”

6 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

7 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
