Passage: Hebrews 5:1-3, 12-14 (RSV)


Hebrews 5


1For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.
3Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.
 
12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;
13for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a child.
14But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.
