So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Jesus didn't promote himself to become our high priest either. It was God who chose him, the same God who said, 'You are my Son, today I have become your Father.'

Jesus didn't campaign for the job — God handpicked him for it.
