Hebrews 5:7

A High Priest Like Melchizedek

⁶ just as He also says in another place,

“You are a priest [appointed] forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.” ⁷ In the days of His earthly life, Jesus offered up both [specific] petitions and [urgent] supplications [for that which He needed] with fervent crying and tears to the One who was [always] able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverent submission toward God [His sinlessness and His unfailing determination to do the Father’s will]. ⁸ Although He was a Son [who had never been disobedient to the Father], He learned [active, special] obedience through what He suffered.
