Question 209: As YHVH, how could Yeshua be weary, hungry and thirsty?

Answer:

In His divinity, no; but in His humanity He could be all of these. Scripture tells us that in His human aspect He was "in all things as we are." What we have in the Gospels is the report by His hearers of what He said. As John tells us (21:25), it is a very imperfect and meagre report, but sufficient for the purpose the writers had in view. At the same time, it is doubtful how much of the God-head Yeshua may voluntarily have laid aside when He became man. Paul says (Philippians 2:7, R.V.) that "He emptied Himself," from which we infer that in order fully to enter into human feeling He divested Himself of such qualities as would have kept Him from feeling hunger, etc. It behoved Him to be made in all things like unto His brethren and He could not be that unless He temporarily relinquished some portion of His divinity.
