Hebrews 5:4 in Context — Hebrews 5

2 Il peut être indulgent pour les ignorants et les égarés, puisque la faiblesse est aussi son partage.

3 Et c’est à cause de cette faiblesse qu’il doit offrir des sacrifices pour ses propres péchés, comme pour ceux du peuple.

4 Nul ne s’attribue cette dignité, s’il n’est appelé de Dieu, comme le fut Aaron.

5 Et Christ ne s’est pas non plus attribué la gloire de devenir souverain sacrificateur, mais il la tient de celui qui lui a dit: Tu es mon Fils, je t’ai engendré aujourd’hui!

6 Comme il dit encore ailleurs: Tu es sacrificateur pour toujours, selon l’ordre de Melchisédek.
