Hebrews 5:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴And one does not presume to take this honour, but takes it only when called by God, just as Aaron was.

⁵So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him,

‘You are my Son,
today I have begotten you’;

⁶as he says also in another place,

‘You are a priest for ever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.’
