More High Priest talk. The earthly high priest had to take care of himself as well. Jesus is different. Jesus was called by God, just like the high priest, but Jesus was like Melchizedek (a priest who had "no beginning" who met with Abraham.) "No beginning" hints at a Godly source.
Obedience and suffer where the hallmark of the Jesus High Priest. This should then be our calling. How obedient (even to the point of suffering are you?) Only God's Son can offer eternal (timeless/above and beyond time) salvation (holy health.)
Evidently, the intended hearers of Hebrews are pretty dense or proud. They are "slow to learn." The author does not understand. As Jews who became Christians, they should be teaching this. They should be more mature. Does you faith mature? Did you move on to "solid food" (or are you ready to) and offer yourself for a deeper interaction and response with God?
