I do not recall that. If you can give me the scripture, I can answer. Jesus could have saved himself from dying, but He chose to die because it was God's will that He be the lamb so that we could be saved.

Jesus could not walk away from the cross because he came to earth to be the sacrifice for man's sin. For him to have walked away would have been for him to deny that he was God. God is not a covenant breaker---he must fulfill his promises, and God promised a Savior in his prophesies of the Old Testament. Read Isaiah chapter 53 and pay particular attention to verse 5. In the garden at Gethsemane, Jesus was not asking the heavenly Father to free him from the cross, but was asking him if there was any other way. If there was not, then he was willing to obey his Father and go to the cross. Jesus was not having second thoughts about the obligation that he had undertaken---God does not think twice about anything that he does.

He could have saved himself, but that would not have helped us out. Jesus told pilate, for this cause came I into the world. Why the cross? Because cursed is everyone who hangeth on a tree. He became a curse for us. It would not have worked if He only came down as God. He had to come in the form of man and be fashioned as a man

He coiuld have yes, but Him dying on the cross was the only way for their to be atonment for everyone's sins. He was God, and man, fully both, and He could have saved Himself form the cross. He asked God to 'take this cup' from Him, meaning let that pass, if it was God's will for that to happen, but Christcame here to do the will of the Father, so He went to the cross because God loves us so much He gave up His only Son. Hope this helps!

Jesus could have escaped from the crucifixion. No doubt about that. He didn't HAVE to be crucified and although he didn't want to be, he CHOSE to allow them to crucify him. He was obedient to God's will, thinking of God first and Himself second. It was a humble request that he made in the garden that God please take this cup from him if it was possible...because it was going to be really, REALLY unpleasant for him in his earthly form. This made the sacrifice all the more valuable (sick as that might sound). Imagine a father finding himself faced with the choice of sacrificing one perfect child for the sake of the "black sheep" child that was always so disobedient and ungrateful. The trouble is, the father loved his disobedient child as much as he loved the obedient one. The father realizes what he must do: sacrifice the obedient child so that the disobedient one might be saved, too. The obedient child (the "good" child) willingly submits to his will out of love and absolute respect, but asks the father "Is there no other way? Please father, don't do this to me if you don't have to!" As you can imagine, this shatters the father's already broken heart. Can you imagine the pain of this absolute display of love?
Everything God does, He does to perfection. The sacrifice was not a full expression of his absolute love without Jesus' plea for mercy.

The simple fact that Jesus is the Son of God a different person from God the Father.

If He did not go threw with the crucifiction, then me, you and the whole world would have perished. Jesus came to save us and to give us eternal life, He died for our sins, and just to upset the atheist, He rose again from the dead, so that we can also one day rise up with Him and have eternal life, WoW!!!
Will you do that for someone you dont even know?

LET THIS CUP PASS FROM ME
This saying from Christ illustrates that in His Humanity, Christ recognized the pain of the coming crucifixion. He went on to be crucified by His own choice to demonstrated that His spirit was was stronger than His flesh.
