Who (ὃς) Nominative to ἔμαθεν learned, Hebrews 5:8, to which all the participles are preparatory. In the days of his flesh (ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ) During his mortal life. When he had offered up prayers and supplications (δεὴσεις τε καὶ ἱκετηρίας προσενέγκας) Δεήσεις special, definite requests: ἱκετηρίας, N.T.o , is properly an adjective, pertaining to or fit for suppliants, with ῥάβδους staves or ἐλαίας olive-branches understood.

To save him from death may mean to deliver him from the fear of death, from the anguish of death, or from remaining a prey to death.

Ευλάβεια is ascribed to Christ as a human trait, see Hebrews 12:28. He was heard, for his prayer was answered, whatever it may have been. God was able to save him from death altogether. He did not do this. He was able to sustain him under the anguish of death, and to give him strength to suffer the Father's will: he was also able to deliver him from death by resurrection: both these he did. It is not impossible that both these may be combined in the statement he was heard. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge the.
