NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Hebrews 5

The Perfect High Priest

1

For everyg3956 highg749 priestg749  atakeng2983 from amongg1537 meng444 is appointedg2525 on behalfg5228 of meng444 in  bthings pertainingg4314 to Godg2316, in orderg2443 to  cofferg4374 bothg5037 giftsg1435 and sacrificesg2378  dfor sinsg266;

2

 1 ahe cang1410 dealg3356 gentlyg3356 with the  bignorantg50 and  cmisguidedg4105, sinceg1893 he himselfg846 alsog2532 is  2 dbesetg4029 with weaknessg769;

3

and becauseg1223 of it he is obligatedg3784 to offerg4374 sacrifices  afor sinsg266,  bas for the peopleg2992, sog3779 alsog2532 for himselfg1438.

4

And  anog3756 oneg5100 takesg2983 the honorg5092 to himselfg1438, but receives it when he is calledg2564 by Godg2316, eveng2531b  bas Aarong2 was.

5

Sog3779 alsog2532 Christg5547  adid not glorifyg1392 Himselfg1438 so as to becomeg1096 a  bhighg749 priestg749, but He whog5101  csaidg2980 to Him, " dYOU ARE MY SONg5207, TODAYg4594 I HAVE BEGOTTENg1080 YOU";

6

justg2531a as He saysg3004 alsog2532 in anotherg2087 passage,aYOU ARE A PRIESTg2409 FOREVERg165 ACCORDINGg2596 TO  bTHE ORDERg5010 OF MELCHIZEDEKg3198."

7

 1In the daysg2250 of His fleshg4561,  2 aHe offeredg4374 up bothg5037 prayersg1162 and supplicationsg2428 with  bloudg2478 cryingg2906 and tearsg1144 to the One  cableg1410 to saveg4982 Him  3from deathg2288, and He  4was heardg1522 becauseg575 of His  dpietyg2124.

8

Althoughg2539 He was  aa Song5207, He learnedg3129  bobedienceg5218 from the things whichg3739 He sufferedg3958.

9

And having been madeg5048  aperfectg5048, He becameg1096 to allg3956 thoseg3588 who obeyg5219 Him the sourceg159a of eternalg166 salvationg4991,

10

being designatedg4316 by Godg2316 as  aa highg749 priestg749 accordingg2596 to  bthe orderg5010 of Melchizedekg3198.

11

Concerningg4012  1him we have muchg4183 to sayg3056, and it is hardg1421 to explaing1421, sinceg1893 you have becomeg1096 dullg3576 of hearingg189.

12

For thoughg2532  1by thisg3588 timeg5550 you oughtg3784 to be teachersg1320, you haveg2192 needg5532 againg3825 for someoneg5100 to teachg1321 you  athe  2 belementaryg4747g746 principlesg4747 of the  coraclesg3051 of Godg2316, and you have comeg1096 to needg5532  dmilkg1051 and not solidg4731 foodg5160.

13

For everyoneg3956 who partakesg3348 only of milkg1051 is not accustomedg552 to the wordg3056 of righteousnessg1343, for he is an  ainfantg3516.

14

But solidg4731 foodg5160 is for  athe matureg5046, who becauseg1223 of practiceg1838 haveg2192 their sensesg145  btrainedg1128 to  cdiscerng1253 goodg2570 and evilg2556.
