Jesus Was Fully Human
Commentators emphasize that Jesus, being "wearied with his journey," powerfully demonstrates his full humanity. Though the Son of God, He experienced physical exhaustion just as we do. As one scholar notes, "He that rolls the stars along was weary." This affirms that Jesus truly took on our human nature, making Him a relatable High Priest who understands our weaknesses.
