“For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.”
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted — Jesus experienced real temptation in his flesh; his suffering under temptation gives him sympathetic knowledge and power to aid those similarly tempted. This makes him the accessible high priest we need.
