Hebrews 5:7-10
New English Translation
7 During his earthly life[a] Christ[b] offered[c] both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through the things he suffered.[d] 9 And by being perfected in this way, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 and he was designated[e] by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.[f]
