'Necessity' in the Bible

"But they all without exception began to excuse themselves. The first told him, "'I have purchased a piece of land, and must of necessity go and look at it. Pray hold me excused.'

(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

Was there not a necessity for the Christ thus to suffer, and then enter into His glory?"
