As Christ suffered, he learned to be a compassionate Supreme Priest by obeying God.
Hebrews 5:1-10
5 Every Jewish Supreme Priest was chosen by God {God chose every Jewish Supreme Priest} from among ordinary men. They were appointed {He appointed them} in order that they would come before him on behalf of the people. Specifically, God appointed them in order that they would bring gifts to him on behalf of the people, and in order to sacrifice animals to him for people who sinned. 2 The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily. 3 As a result, they had to offer something to God for their own sins, just like they had to offer something to God for other people who sinned. 4 Furthermore, it is an honor to be a Supreme Priest so no one honors himself by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest. Instead, God chose each man to become a Supreme Priest, as he chose Aaron to be the first Supreme Priest. 5 Similarly, Christ also did not honor himself by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest. Instead, God appointed him by saying to him what he never said to any other priest, what the Psalmist wrote in the Scriptures,
You (sg) are my Son! Today I have declared that I am your Father!
6 And he also said to Christ what the Psalmist wrote in another Scripture passage,
You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest.
7 When Christ lived on the earth [MTY], he prayed [DOU] to God and tearfully cried out loudly to him. Specifically, he asked God, who was able to help him, that he would not fear the sufferings just before he died. As a result, God listened to him, because Christ reverently submitted to what God wanted him to do. 8 Although Christ is God’s own Son, he learned to obey God by suffering before he died. 9 By becoming ◄all that God intended him to be/perfect►, he has now become fully qualified to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves eternally all who obey him. 10 Furthermore, God has designated him to be our Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
