From a literal point of view, Jesus was thirsty for the same reason that any other person would be thirsty if forced to stay outside in hot conditions. He was outdoors, the climate in the Middle East is hot (except during the night) and Jesus hung there for many hours. He would have been sweating very heavily, and also losing more moisture because of bleeding from his wounds. In addition, of course, it took time before anyone gave Him water, even after He started to ask for it. Also, Jesus would have known and expected that He was going to feel very thirsty, and knowing this, it would have made Him feel even thirstier. You could also say that Jesus "thirsted" for other people to understand Him, that He wanted people to learn from Him about following the right path, and He wanted to help others so that more people could go to Heaven. So, when The Bible describes how Jesus was physically thirsty for something to drink, it can also be a metaphor to say that Jesus felt a yearning to help people, and a sorrow since there were so many people who did not open their minds to him -- something like a thirst for more souls to take care of, just as an ordinary person would be thirsty for water.
