The Fulfillment of the High Priesthood of Christ. So Christ also did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest. What we see in this passage is that Jesus Christ fulfilled the qualifications of being a high priest because He, too, was chosen by God. We'll talk more about this mysterious high priest later in chapter 7. The passage also says that Christ fulfilled the second qualification of being a high priest, in that He was one with the people.
Prayer is made in silence, crying with raised voice, but tears overcome all things.
Our Lord was known for His tears. In Luke 19 we read of the occasion when the Lord made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and there, as He approached the city riding on a donkey, He saw the city and wept over it. In spite of the exuberance of the crowd that day, Jesus knew, of their true hardness of heart. He knew that in just a few days, this same crowd would call for His crucifixion, and death. He so loved the people who would reject Him, that it broke His heart, and He wept.
