Context of Hebrews 5:7

5So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8Though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered; 9And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him;
