2. The high priest has his own weaknesses. So he is able to be gentle with those who do wrong out of ignorance.
3. He offers sacrifices for their sins, but he must also offer sacrifices for his own sins.
4. To be a high priest is an honor. But no one chooses himself for this work. That person must be chosen by God just as Aaron was.
5. It is the same with Christ. He did not choose himself to have the honor of becoming a high priest. But God chose him. God said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.” Psalm 2:7
6. And in another part of the Scriptures God says, “You are a priest forever— the kind of priest Melchizedek was.” Psalm 110:4
