How do we know Jesus' death was voluntary?

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture emphasizes that Jesus willingly laid down His life, demonstrating His authority and obedience to God.

The voluntary nature of Jesus' death is underscored in John 10:18, where Jesus states, 'No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.' This manifests His divine authority and intent in the redemptive plan. Despite being handed over to wicked men, His death is not an act of helplessness but an ultimate act of obedience to the Father’s will, fulfilling the prophecies and the planned covenant of redemption. His final words, 'It is finished,' signify the completion of His redemptive work, which He initiated and accomplished through His will.
