Hebrews 5:4-10 (GNT)
4 No one chooses for himself the honor of being a high priest. It is only by God's call that a man is made a high priest—just as Aaron was.
5 In the same way, Christ did not take upon himself the honor of being a high priest. Instead, God said to him,
You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.
6 He also said in another place,
You will be a priest forever,
in the priestly order of Melchizedek.
[a]
7 In his life on earth Jesus made his prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God, who could save him from death. Because he was humble and devoted, God heard him.8 But even though he was God's Son, he learned through his sufferings to be obedient.9 When he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him,10 and God declared him to be high priest, in the priestly order of Melchizedek.
