Context of Hebrews 5:7
5Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee. 6Even as also in another [place] he says, Thou [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety;) 8though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered; 9and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation;

Commentaries on Hebrews 5:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Who in the days of his flesh - The time of his incarnation, during which he took all the infirmities of human nature upon him, and was afflicted in his body and human soul just as other men are, irregular and sinful passions excepted. Offered up prayers and supplications - This is one of the most difficult places in this epistle, if not in the whole of the New Testament.
