Hebrews 5:6-11

Context
5:6 as also in another place God 1  says, “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” 2  5:7 During his earthly life 3  Christ 4  offered 5  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. 6  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 7  by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek. 8

5:11 On this topic we have much to say 9  and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish 10  in hearing.
