Scripture
Isaiah 53: 5-10
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for
our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon
him, and by his wounds we are healed…the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted…he was led
like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers
is silent, so he did not open his mouth. He was assigned a grave
with the wicked, though he had done no violence, nor was any
deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and
cause him to suffer...

God…should make the author [hero] of their salvation perfect through
suffering…Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is
able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:10-18
Jesus had to suffer before he was crucified for three reasons...
