Jesus is a prophet of Islam, and we do not believe that he died on the cross, because that is not what the Qur'an teaches us. If he prophesied that he will get persecuted then it must have been revealed to him by Lord Almighty, because every prophet has suffered in the cause of Allah.
I only consider the Bible because the people who wrote it were in a position to know. There are no priests in the Bible, for Scripture says every believer is a royal priesthood. 99.5% of all Bible versions are the same and the early church fathers attested to the authenticity of the Bible quoting all these verses in their writings by the 2nd century. Since you admit Jesus prophesied his death and he is not a false prophet then he, indeed, die on the cross. The Quran says he didn't. Only one is right. Prophets not have suffered but have also died as martyrs.

JESUS PREDICTED HIS OWN CRUCIFIXION AND DEATH.

Jesus was not afraid to die. In fact, He predicted His own death and resurrection

Matthew 16:21 - From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.

Luke 18:31,32 - Jesus took the twelve aside and told them, 'We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be handed over to the Gentiles, they will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.'

John 12:30-32 - This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself". He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.

JESUS WILLINGLY WENT TO THE CROSS

Matthew 26:53 - "Do you not think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more that twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"

Matthew 26:39 - "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."

John 10:18 - "No man takes it (his life) from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father".
