““In the case of the former priests this “weakness” was their own sinfulness. Consequently they had to offer sacrifice for their own sins as well. In Jesus’ case it cannot be his own sin, otherwise his self-sacrifice for his brothers would have been less than total; yet he must experience weakness in temptation, the danger of demonic enticement, the difficulty of clinging to God’s will, if he, the doctor, is to gain the necessary knowledge of the human situation which calls for healing.””
