Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
There is no way Jesus could have incited his death, he came to save us from our sins.His way of teaching were viewed by many in that direction. Jesus came to the world to save the world , but for him to do all these he had to preach the gospel truth, which is hard for some people to bear.

Jesus incited truth, love and forgiveness but because this is so vastly controversial it caused Him to be hated by the religious leaders.

Jesus, know what he had to do and did it. He know there was a time for his death and knew his ressuractuion was going to be three days after his death. He had no fear of anything that was sad or done to him it was all recorded in his mind.... that`s why he walked as a pure man without sin. God had his back just like he wants to have ours..only if we open our hearts, minds and souls to let him in so we can really see just how wonderful our father turely is. Father I`m right there with you! Thank you for loving me and giving me another chance to get it right!!!

I do not believe that incite is the correct word here. Jesus was completely focused on obedience to the Father`s will, and the fulfillment of the plan the Father had put in place. The fact that of his foreknowledge does not mean that he manipulated events to make them so. Everything Jesus did, He did to bring us into a clearer understanding of the Father`s love, truth, and desire for us to be reconciled to Him and to one another. The fact that His instruction in righteousness and humility offended the religious authorities has more to do with their pride than any desire for martyrdom on Jesus` part. I believe Jesus remained committed to obedience to the Father`s will, and our salvation, no matter what the cost.

He did what He ought to do ''Spread the good news, rebuked the hypocrites, and showed the proper way of following the Law of Moses''. I don`t think it is His intention to provoke the people to kill Him''though He fully knows that part of His mission is to die on the cross as a ransom to many''. I believe that He is just simply following God`s commandments. And as written in the Gospels, God the Father is pleased with the Son. I guess that`s already enough for me to believe in Him.

Yes Jesus was trying to incite his death. He predicted his own murder because he was the son of God, he could have saved himself but he did`nt because he wanted to save mankind of all the trials and tribulations.

No . He doe not have to incite any one of us. He is God and has the power to do anything wizout inciting us. He was following his Father`s plan which he knew was for the good of manking even if it meant hardship and torture for him.He believed that his Father will be there to see him through the ordeal.

Jesus life was already planned before he was born. When he was on earth he was on a mission and he had to do what his father told him to do. He knew he would be denied, tortured, and everything. God love us so much that he gave his only begotten son to save us.
