Hebrews 5:5-7

5:5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, ¹  who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,” ²  5:6 as also in another place God ³  says, “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” ⁴  5:7 During his earthly life ⁵  Christ ⁶  offered ⁷  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.
