Answered in 1 source
The Bible states that Jesus was delivered into the hands of men to be killed by the Jewish leaders, fulfilling God's plan of redemption.
In Mark 9:31, Jesus teaches his disciples that he would be delivered into the hands of men, culminating in his death, yet he promises resurrection on the third day. This isn't just a historical account but a profound demonstration of God's sovereign plan. In Acts 2:23, Peter explains that Christ was delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, emphasizing that Jesus' crucifixion was part of God's redemptive scheme. The interplay of human agency in Jesus' delivery highlights both divine sovereignty and human guilt, illustrating that even wicked actions fulfill God's purposes.
