“Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;”
During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission — the incarnate Jesus experienced real distress, particularly in his passion. His prayers and supplications were offered with fervent emotion and submitted obedience. The pathetic dimension of Christ's humanity is unsparing: he knew fear and pleaded for deliverance, yet submitted to the Father's will.
