Hebreus 5

¹ For every hye prest that is taken from amoge men is ordeyned for men in thynges pertaynynge to god: to offer gyftes and sacryfyses for synne:

² which can have compassion on the ignoraunt and on them that are out of the waye because that he him silfe also is compased with infirmitie:

³ For the which infirmities sake he is bounde to offer for synnes as well for hys awne parte as for the peoples.

⁴ And no man taketh honour vnto him silfe but he that is called of God as was Aaron.

⁵ Even so lykewise Christ glorified not him silfe to be made the hye prest: but he that sayde vnto him: thou arte my sonne this daye begat I the glorified him.

⁶ As he also in another place speaketh: Thou arte a prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech.

⁷ Which in the dayes of his flesshe did offer vp prayers and sup plicacions with stronge cryinge and teares vnto him that was able to save him from deeth: and was also hearde because of his godlines.

⁸ And though he were Goddes sonne yet learned he obediece by tho thynges which he suffered

⁹ and was made parfaite and the cause of eternall saluacion vnto all them that obey him:

¹⁰ and is called of God an hye prest after the order of Melchisedech.

¹¹ Wherof we have many thynges to saye which are harde to be vttered: because ye are dull of hearinge.

¹² For when as cocerninge ye tyme ye ought to be teachers yet have ye nede agayne that we teache you the fyrst principles of the worde of god: and are become soche as have nede of mylke and not of stronge meate:

¹³ For every man that is feed with mylke is inexperte in the worde of rightewesnes. For he is but a babe.

¹⁴ But stronge meate belongeth to them that are parfecte which thorow custome have their wittes exercised to iudge both good and evyll also.
