Notes

Hebrews 5:9

And having been made perfect: In Hebrews, perfect means "complete" or "mature" (see Hebrews 2:10; 5:14; 7:11; 9:9 –11). Jesus became the source of eternal salvation for everyone who obeys him through his sufferings.
As the Son obeyed the Father (5:8), fully following the Father's will, those seeking salvation must obey him.

Hebrews 5:7–10

The suffering of Jesus was the basis for his higher role as a priest. His humiliation and suffering came before his rise to glory (Hebrews 2:9; Philippians 2:5 –11).

Hebrews 5:1–10

This section discusses how the Son of God became a superior high priest. The main text is Psalm 110:4, where God promises that the Son will be a priest forever like Melchizedek.
