Hebrews
Hebrews 5:6–9
6And in another passage God says:
“You are a priest forever
in the order of Melchizedek.”b
7During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence. 8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered. 9And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
