Hebrews 5:4-6

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁴ No one chooses himself to be high priest. But God calls him, just as he called Aaron.

⁵ So Christ did not choose himself to be a high priest. But he was chosen by the One who said to him, `You are my Son, and I am your Father today.'

⁶ In another place in the holy writings God said, `You are a priest for ever like Melchizedek.'
