How do we know that Jesus willingly accepted His arrest?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus knowingly and willingly faced His arrest, demonstrating His obedience to the Father’s plan for redemption.

According to John 18:4-8, Jesus was fully aware of the events that were about to unfold, including His impending arrest and suffering. He voluntarily presented Himself to the soldiers by asking, 'Whom seek ye?' This act confirms His willingness to bear the cross for our sins, fulfilling the divine covenant and His role as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11). His commanding presence, which caused His captors to fall back, further underscores His authority and determination to proceed with God's redemptive plan, despite the suffering that lay ahead.
