Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:New Acts 2:23
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.Acts 5:29-33

If he didn't give his life willingly we would still be in our sins!
As goes the type, so is the antitype. Joseph is possibly the largest type (by number of similarities) of Christ to be found in the scriptures with the possible exception of David.
Who sold Joseph into bondage in Egypt? Was it his jealous brothers, or was it God?
20 And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Gen 50
The sins of the fathers were visited upon the Hebrews unto the third and the fourth generation for the evil that their fathers did to Joseph. But many lives were saved from the famine because God allowed/ordained it to happen. The brothers meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.
Well, it was not suicide, and it was not justice for crimes He did, so all that is left is murder.Christ's death was not murder. John 10:17-18, Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, . . .

Hebrews 9:28, So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.Does this sound as if He just 'let it go'?

36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. Mt 23
22 For these are days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 Woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! for there shall be great distress upon the land, and wrath unto this people.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all things be accomplished. Lu 21

15 who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove out us, and pleased not God, and are contrary to all men;

Yes, murderers. But per Jesus' own words His physical death was not caused by any one, but Himself.The Holy Spirit through the mouth of Stephen (Acts of the Apostles 6:10) :
