How do we know Jesus' suffering was authentic?

The authenticity of Jesus' suffering is crucial in understanding His role as our Savior. He was fully human and felt the depth of the burden of our sins. This is poignantly depicted in Matthew 26, where His anguish is palpable, emphasizing that He wasn’t merely God who could not feel pain. The reality of His sufferings affirms that He was a man who bore significant emotional and physical agony, indeed 'the Lamb of God' who takes away the sin of the world, fulfilling prophetic scriptures regarding His suffering and sacrifice.
