As you know, God gave human beings free will, the Jews could have decided not to hate Jesus. This means the Son of Man won’t have to be cruxified. Yet, we all know that the OT has already mentioned about Jesus’s death and sufferings. How is there any freewill if everything is already “predetermined” in the OT.

You are assuming that creatures, who are subject to their creator, have a free will at all. With regard to your question on the matter, I would recommend you read through Ephesians 1 and 2. After reading this, ask yourself, is Paul saying that Jesus was Plan B because we messed up, or was he Plan A all along?

It depends what you mean. Clearly Christ and even Mary, in a less complete way, knew what would happen to Jesus. But I don’t think foreknowledge means predetermined.
