How do we know that Jesus' death was voluntary?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' own words affirm that His death was a voluntary act of obedience, showcasing His authority over life and death.

The nature of Jesus' death is highlighted in John 10:17, which states, 'I lay down my life that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.' This clearly indicates that His death was not forced upon Him but was a voluntary act aligned with the divine command of the Father. Throughout the New Testament, including Hebrews 10:5, it is evident that Jesus came into the world specifically to fulfill the will of God, demonstrating His agency and willingness in the act of atonement.
