For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. Heb 8:3Heb 10:11Heb 11:4Heb 2:17Heb 7:27Heb 9:9Lev 9:15-21Exo 29:1-37 The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness. Heb 4:15Heb 2:182Co 12:9-10Heb 7:28Heb 12:132Co 12:5Gal 4:13Num 15:22-29 Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself. Heb 9:7Lev 16:6Lev 9:7Heb 7:27Lev 16:15Lev 4:3-12Exo 29:12-19Lev 8:14-21 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was. Exo 28:1Num 16:40Num 16:51Ch 23:132Ch 26:18Jhn 3:27Num 16:35Num 16:46-48 So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Psa 2:7Jhn 8:54Jhn 7:18Act 13:33Heb 1:5Rom 8:3Heb 1:1Mic 5:2
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your father.” 1
As he says also in another place, Psa 110:4Heb 7:17Heb 7:21Heb 7:3Gen 14:18-19Heb 5:10Heb 6:20Heb 7:15
“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.” 2
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, Luk 22:41-44Jhn 17:1Mat 27:46Mrk 14:32-39Jhn 17:4-5Jhn 12:27-28Mrk 15:34Mat 26:28-44 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered. Php 2:8Heb 10:5-9Jhn 4:34Isa 50:5-6Jhn 15:10Jhn 6:38Heb 3:6Heb 1:5 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, Heb 9:15Heb 12:2Heb 2:10Heb 9:12Act 5:321Pe 1:222Th 1:8Dan 9:24 named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
