Chapter 5 of Hebrews—New World Translation (NWT)

  1. ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is appointed in behalf of men over the things pertaining to God,1 that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.2
  2. He is able to deal moderately with the ignorant and erring ones since he also is surrounded with his own weakness,3
  3. and on its account he is obliged to make offerings for sins as much for himself as for the people.4
  4. ¶ Also, a man takes this honor, not of his own accord,5 but only when he is called by God,6 just as Aaron7 also [was].
  5. So too the Christ did not glorify himself8 by becoming a high priest,9 but [was glorified10 by him] who spoke with reference to him: “You are my son; I, today, I have become your father.”11
  6. Just as he says also in another place: “You are a priest forever according to the manner[a] of Mel·chizʹe·dek.”12
  7. ¶ In the days of his flesh [Christ] offered up supplications and also petitions13 to the One who was able to save him out of death, with strong14 outcries and tears, and he was favorably heard for his godly fear.15
  8. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered;16
  9. and after he had been made perfect[b]17 he became responsible for everlasting salvation18 to all those obeying him,19
  10. because he has been specifically called by God a high priest according to the manner of Mel·chizʹe·dek.20
  11. ¶ Concerning him we have much to say and hard to be explained,[c] since YOU have become dull in YOUR hearing.21
  12. For, indeed, although YOU ought to be teachers22 in view of the time, YOU again need someone to teach YOU from the beginning the elementary things23 of the sacred pronouncements of God;24 and YOU have become such as need milk, not solid food.[d]25
  13. For everyone that partakes of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.26
  14. But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their perceptive powers[e]27 trained[f] to distinguish both right and wrong.28

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.
