Hebrews 5:7-9

Contemporary English Version

^7 (A) God had the power to save Jesus from death. And while Jesus was on earth, he begged God with loud crying and tears to save him. He truly worshiped God, and God listened to his prayers. ⁸ Jesus is God's own Son, but still he had to suffer before he could learn what it really means to obey God. ⁹ Suffering made Jesus perfect, and now he can save forever all who obey him.
