    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The Son learns obedience through what He suffers, while those who ought to teach are found needing milk.

    The priest who is calledvv. 1–10

    A high priest comes from among men to represent them before God, offering gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided because weakness is part of his own condition, and he must offer for his own sins as well as the people’s. The honour is not self-appointed: Aaron was called by God, and Christ likewise did not seize the glory of high priesthood. He was called Son, named priest forever in the order of Melchizedek, and in the days of His earthly life offered prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears. Though a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered; made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

    Milk at the wrong end of the lessonvv. 11–14

    There is much to say about the priesthood in the order of Melchizedek, but the explanation catches on the hearers’ dullness. By this time they ought to be teachers; instead, they need someone to reteach the basic principles of God’s word. Milk belongs to infants, and solid food to the mature, whose senses have been trained by constant use to distinguish good from evil.

    Berean Standard Bible, public domain. Names the Hebrew and Greek put in the verse link to the person, place or people they name; the address beside each verse is a link to that verse, which is what a reader copies and shares.

    1. Heb 5:1Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

    2. Heb 5:2He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness.

    3. Heb 5:3That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

    4. Heb 5:4No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

    5. Heb 5:5So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”

    6. Heb 5:6And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

    7. Heb 5:7During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

    8. Heb 5:8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.

    9. Heb 5:9And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him

    10. Heb 5:10and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

    11. Heb 5:11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.

    12. Heb 5:12Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!

    13. Heb 5:13For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.

    14. Heb 5:14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Reached by an assertion Atlas extracted from a verse of this chapter rather than by a name written in it — a pronoun, a title, or a participant the sentence carries without naming. This layer is model-read and measured at 88.6–90.3% precision, and it is kept separate from the names above for that reason.
