2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said to him, You are my Son, to day have I begotten you.
