Hebrews 5:3-5
International Standard Version
3 For that reason he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as for those of the people. 4 No one takes this honor upon himself but he is called to it by God, just as Aaron was.
The Messiah’s Qualifications as High Priest
5 In the same way, the Messiah[a] did not take upon himself the glory of being a high priest. No, it was God who said[b] to him,
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.”[c]
