Certainly in this world there were slaves who suffered far more than Jesus, even those who died worse deaths I think the idea is that Jesus suffered as an innocent and also suffered in hell and experienced death for us

It depends on the tradition. Traditional creeds hold that Jesus descended to “hell” during the 3 days he was dead. But many interpret that as the “hades” - neutral, instead of “Gehenna”- a firery pit of torment. But yes that’s been a Christian idea for a while

I’ve also seen some theories about how Jesus could infinitely suffer during the weekend in hell, whereas traditionally the ~90% of non Christians would suffer for much longer than a weekend (~10 billion Xian, 120 billion humans)
