Commentary on Hebrews 5:8
The paradox—the eternal Son 'learned obedience'—shows He experientially learned submission through suffering. 'Though he were a Son' emphasizes that even His divine status did not exempt Him from the path of suffering. The Greek 'emathen aph hon epathen' creates a wordplay (learned/suffered) highlighting the educational value of suffering. This prepared Him to be the perfect High Priest.
