Hebrews 5:7-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. God had the power to save Jesus from death. And while Jesus was on earth, he begged God with loud crying and tears to save him. He truly worshipped God, and God listened to his prayers.

8. Jesus is God's own Son, but still he had to suffer before he could learn what it really means to obey God.

9. Suffering made Jesus perfect, and now he can save for ever all who obey him.

10. This is because God chose him to be a high priest like Melchizedek.

11. Much more could be said about this subject. But it is hard to explain, and all of you are slow to understand.

12. By now you should have been teachers, but once again you need to be taught the simplest things about what God has said. You need milk instead of solid food.

13. People who live on milk are like babies who don't really know what is right.

14. Solid food is for mature people who have been trained to know right from wrong.
