Hebrews 5:8-10

5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through the things he suffered. 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 by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.


sn There is a wordplay in the Greek text between the verbs “learned” (ἔμαθεν, emaqen) and “suffered” (ἔπαθεν, epaqen).

tn Grk “having been designated,” continuing the thought of Heb 5:9.

sn The phrase in the order of Melchizedek picks up the quotation from Ps 110:4 in Heb 5:6.
