Hebrews 5:10
8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
9 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
12 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
