Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
I don`t think Jesus incited His death. He know it was comming but didn`t try to bring it on. He really did want it to happen but He know it was God will and wanted to save us from our sins.

To save human from the fire of hell, God had already transformed himself become like His creature or one of us. Only Jesus is the Lord that wants become like His creature, feel His creature`s suffering. Cause He loves us very very much and crazy about His creatures. Cause our good deed, anything cannot make us come to His throne, so He give himself to make us realize how much He loves us till the death. By dead in the Cross, Jesus went to the hell and take over the key of the death from the evil, to make us has not fear agan with the power of the dead, cause Jesus Christ had already given His life as human. Suffering as human. God bless us

Jesus was not inciting His own death, but only that what has been written must be fulfilled.I do not want to call it incite, but the passion for His fathers work was driving Him so. Infact everything that did happen to Jesus has long been predicted , so God was just fulfilling His prophecies, and this was not an incite. Because He was ligth, the dargness in this world always wants to confront Him, but He prevailed against them.

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?
I would say, No. Because, Jesus saw the reaction to his 100% truth and revelation of secret mysteries in his teachings, resulted in two big reactions. One was to believe, submit and follow him. The other was a violent rejection of the message. Like anything thing we don`t like, we want to remove the discomfort immedietly. Jesus had seen how many people around him were reacting very emotionally against him and were as such, volitile. Jesus was sent to earth from the other person in the trinity of God, the Father, to preach 100% truth and reveal secret mysteries. However, Jesus new that doing what he meant to do was very likely to end in death. On top of this, he read the prophesies in the Old Testament, and it is logical to believe that the Holy Spirit would have pointed these verses out and said to Jesus, this is you that they are prophesying about. So he would have known from atleast two points of evidence - the behaviour of people around him and the prophesies. He verbally predicted his own death and betrayall to 1. give Judas the chance to reconsider and not do it ''like old testament prophesies given to Jews about future death'' and 2. to prepare his followers for beyond Jesus and letting the rest of the world then and in the future know about the very amazing act of God of becoming incarnate as a human.

Jesus was on the mission he intended to fulfill. By teaching truth, working miracles, and confronting the leadership of the day, he was led to his death and he did not resist it. He came to give his life and make the way for all people to be welcomed into the kingdom of God.

Yes, Jesus tried to incite his death through accepting the physical torture, body harms and did not take any defensive actions to avoid wounds. He was ready to fullfil the promise of His Father. The promise that resulted of saving the world, cleaning the world`s sins and made people free. Jesus was able to avoir his death, and punish Juda his disciple who betrayed him but because he knew that the time to suffer for the world was come, he did not, he accepted the horrible situation, he was the son of God but he did not denied to be humiliated.

No, Jesus was not deliberately inciting His death. Jesus was positioning Himself for what He knew was to come:His ultimate sacrifice on the Cross for our salvation.Jesus knows the devil will try to stop Him, so He made sure NOTHING will stop Him, Jesus, from carrying out the main reason while He came down to earth-to make a way for us in the world to achieve eternal rest in the kingdom. No, Jesus knew what He was doing all along.
