5 So also Christ ^adid not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

6 as he says also in another place,

7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus¹ offered up ^eprayers and supplications, with ^floud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a ^gson, he learned ^hobedience through what he suffered. 9 And ⁱbeing made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
