What does it mean that Jesus was made perfect through suffering?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus was made perfect through suffering in the sense that He completed the work of redemption as our High Priest.

In Hebrews 2:10, it is stated that the captain of our salvation was made perfect through sufferings. This refers not to moral imperfection, as Christ was always sinless, but to the completion of His mediatorial work. Christ’s suffering was essential for fulfilling the covenant of grace, where He bore the sins of His people, satisfying God's justice. His perfection through suffering illustrates that through His trials, He earned the right to grant eternal salvation to those He represents, affirming His unique capability as the High Priest who intercedes for us.
