"he is able to commiserate with those who are ignorant and who wander astray, because he himself is also encompassed by infirmity. "
— Hebrews 5:2, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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.”
“who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity; ”
“The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.”
“He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since he also is subject to weakness,”
“Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.”
“He is able to have feeling for those who have no knowledge and for those who are wandering from the true way, because he himself is feeble;”
“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.”
For every high priest, having been taken from among men, is appointed on behalf of men toward the things which pertain to God, so that he may offer gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins;
he is able to commiserate with those who are ignorant and who wander astray, because he himself is also encompassed by infirmity.
And because of this, he also must make such offerings for sins even for himself, in the same manner as for the people.
Neither does anyone take up this honor himself, but rather he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.
Thus, even Christ did not glorify himself, so as to become High Priest, but instead, it was God who said to him: “You are my Son. Today I have begotten you.”
