I don't know that the Bible ever specifically answers your question, which leaves us to reason our way to the answer. Others may wish to comment as well, but here is what I understand to be the consensus view.

Jesus, fully God and fully man, had always been closely intimate with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. But Jesus went voluntarily onto that cross precisely to take our sins onto Himself. In doing so, He suffered the same alienation, forsaking, from God that we do when we sin, and He felt it excruciatingly and lamented it audibly.

To: Hebrews 11:6

You think Jesus went voluntarily? I didn’t realize he had a choice.... People get mad at me, but I believe we have somewhat of a cruel God....not Jesus...jus God. He always so much pain, suffering, cruelty....for innocents. Just always bothered me..
