Jesus did not try to incite his death. He came to die for us and pay the price of our sins. He knew He was going to suffer a lot and He knew what`s going to happen but that`s how much He loved us. He loved us till death.

I believe that is not to incite Jesus` death. I think that sins of human lead to his death. Because the temple should be cleansing and behavior of leaders should be accused. On the countrary, they should follow Jesus.

No, Jesus wasn`t trying to incite his death by accussing the Jewish leaders, Jesus was only doing what He was sent for i.e. to preach to the people about the Kingdom of God. Jesus was only condemning sin and Jesus already knew that He would be crucified by the people because the people were living in sin and unless the sins are washed by His blood, the peole will not understand about the Kingdom of God.
