Was Jesus afraid to die?
We cannot know specifically if Jesus was afraid to die. We do know that, as God, He knew what was going to happen to Him. He knew He`d suffer a painful death and that He`d also be resurrected after. But, since Jesus was also a man (God chose to become a man), then He could have experienced similar thoughts and feelings to those we would feel in this situation.

Since Jesus knew the future, it is unlikely He would have been afraid of death itself because He knew He would go to be with His Father in Heaven. But, more likely, He could have apprehended the pain (especially since His death would be one of the most painful deaths a human being could go through).  He probably felt the same kind of fears that we all feel when confronted with the thought of pain. We do know, according to John`s Gospel (John`s biography of Jesus), that Jesus sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane before His death, and said: "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire."

Was Jesus afraid to die?
Jesus couldnt have delivered us from the fear of death if he was himself afraid of it. What Jesus dreaded was separation from His Father. He'd never experienced that before. He was always one with him. When Jesus became sin, God could not behold his son anymore because He is too holy to look upon sin. And then on the cross Jesus cried out "father" "father", why have thou forsaken me. The father left Him because he loved us.ther left Him because he loved us.

Our King Jesus is too strong and powerfull to be afraid of the flesh dieing. Stop thinking with the flesh and think with your spirit.

Jesus doesn't think like we think clear as the scripture says in isaiah 55:8 he thinks of heavenly thoughts and pleasing the father! He isn't tempted to walk away from his mission to save our sins by dieing (The only reason he came to earth) he didnt want to be separated from God "abba" Father because the sin was too much God had to look away. He was worried about his father Isaiah 55:8 (NIV) 8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
