On Acts 2:23 –

“Being delivered up. The term, in this form, is only used here. The verb is used in the New Testament of letting out a vineyard, and in no other sense. Here it conveys the idea of His being put into their hands by the voluntary plan of the Father. It was by no chance or compulsion. He was not wrested from the Father’s hands. He Himself was voluntary in it all” – Melancthon W. Jacobus, Notes – Critical and Explanatory – on the Acts of the Apostles, 67.
