1251 entries for this category: Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?) Every move by Jesus was prompted by the Holy Spirit of God. Whatever He uttered to the priests was a direct prompting of the Spirit which realises evil, and raises a standard against it. If Jesus chose to overturn tables in a bit to cleanse the temple, it was the prompt of the Spirit, and as always, He was obedient to the end.
Nobody loves to incite his own death, and Jesus himself prayed to God the Father against this death, but God turned a deaf ear. It was only when Jesus accepted the will of God to be done, that an angel came from heaven to give him encouragement.
The journey to the cross was painful, but he knew about it, and so he endured it, knowing fully well that no weapon of the evil one could prevail against him, if he only obeyed God.
Finally, this last episode was the greatest attempt by satan to fight the kingdom of God, ''the hour of darkness'', through the person of Jesus, but as a sacrificial lamb, Jesus simply walked in the planned and perfect will of God, allowing every effort of the devil to take place, inorder to also give the final defeat to satan, and to be crowned with ultimate glory for ever. Through this sacrifice, the redemption of the world was complete, and reconcilliation of man to God enabled. Glory be to God in the Highest, through the Matchless name of Jesus Christ-Amen.

Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?) No. He was demonistrating the spirit of no compromise. Compromise here is knowing the right thing and not doing it because of fear of fellow men. Peter did not follow Jesus example because of that fear, and ended up denying Jesus. Pilate would have used his authority to free Jesus after seeing no guilt in Him ''Jesus'', but he feared his men, and as well tortured Jesus.
