Hebrews Chapter 5

Christ, Our Eternal High Priest
1   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:
2   Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are wayward; for he himself also is beset with weakness.
3   And for this reason he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4   And no man takes this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5   So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.
6   As he says also in another place, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
7   Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8   Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9   And being made perfect, he became the author  of  eternal  salvation  unto  all  them  that obey him;
10  Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Dull of Hearing, Have Need of Milk
11   Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to explain, seeing you are dull of hearing.
12   For when for the time you ought to be teachers,  you  have  need  that  one  teach  you again which be the first principles of the word of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.
13   For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14   But solid food belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
