World English Bible
"The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness."
— Hebrews 5:2, World English Bible
“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; ”
“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, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
So also Christ didn't glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."
