See also Hebrews 5:7. “ The object of the “prayers and supplications” thus heard and answered is implied in the words “unto Him that was able to save Him out of death.” Not “from death:” the Greek words may have that meaning, but it is not their most natural sense, as a comparison of other passages would show.

This prayer was answered: His death was the beginning of His glory (Hebrews 2:9).” Benson Commentary
