A reading from the letter of Paul to the Hebrews.

While on earth, Jesus offered up prayer and entreaty, aloud and in silent tears, to the One who had the power to grant salvation from death.  He was heard because of his submission.  Although Jesus was God’s Beloved, he learned obedience through suffering; and having been made perfect

through this, Jesus became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey God.

The Word of God recorded in the letter of Paul to the Hebrews.
