Hebrews 5:4-6

New Life Version

⁴ A Jewish religious leader does not choose this honor for himself. God chooses a man for this work. Aaron was chosen this way.

Christ Is Our Religious Leader Who Has Made the Way for Man to Go to God

⁵ It is the same way with Christ. He did not choose the honor of being a Religious Leader Who has made the way for man to go to God. Instead, God said to Christ, “You are My Son. Today I have become Your Father.” ^{(A) 6} God says in another part of His Word, “You will be a Religious Leader forever. You will be like Melchizedek.” ^(B)
