Hebrews 5:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴Moreover, one does not assume this position of honor on his own initiative, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.

⁵Even Christ did not confer upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. Rather, he was appointed by the one who said to him:

“You are my Son;
this day I have begotten you.”

⁶And he says in another place:

“You are a priest forever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.”
