Jesus' death as a suicide... Interesting idea.
By that measure, anyone considered a martyr could also be considered to have committed suicide.
Jesus presumably knew the outcome of his time on earth ahead of time. He was well aware of the approximate time he'd be killed. Evidence from the Bible clearly shows Jesus had superhuman powers and so it's likely he could have at least escaped his executioners.
And yet he chose the path that lead to death. Is that suicide?
For that matter, did Jesus have a choice? God commanded Abraham to kill his own son. Did Abraham's son have any choice in the matter? If not, why do we assume Jesus had free agency?
