Ibrani 5:7-10

5:7 During his earthly life ¹  Christ ²  offered ³  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. 5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through the things he suffered. ⁴  5:9 And by being perfected in this way, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 5:10 and he was designated ⁵  by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek. ⁶
