This angered Jesus. Any practice that interferes with worshipping God should be stopped forthwith. Jesus accused the leaders because their hunger for more power, money, and status had made them lose sight of God, and their blindness was spreading to the whole nation, and had to be rebuked there and there. So there is no way that Jesus incited the Sanihendrin and the Pharisees to crucify him. Why did Jesus´ penalty for "sin" need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God? Jesus revealed the mysterious secrets about himself to his disciples, but even they failed to comprehend the nature of his mission. He came to give his life as a ransom for many, which includes you and me. Mark 10:45 says; "For even I, the son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many" This verse reveals not only the motive for Jesus' ministry, but also the basis for our salvation. A ransom was the price paid to release a slave. Jesus paid a ransom for us because we could not pay it ourselves. His death released all of us from our slavery to sin. The disciples thought Jesus' life and power would save them from Rome; Jesus said his death would save them from sin, an even greater slavery than Rome's.

"Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)

"Which of these purposes do you believe Jesus accomplished?" As alluded to earlier on, Christ died for the ungodly. Christ died for me. I am powerless to save myself or make myself righteous. Without Jesus' sacrificial death and without God's grace I could not be saved. Jesus did for me what I could not do and paid off my debt to sin which I could not pay. He did it for me; not because I was good enough to be worthy of his death, but because I couldn't be worthy without him.
