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

GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
God so loved the world that he sent his only son so whoever believed in him will not perish but have eternal life. Jesus christ had a mission to complete on earth. To save his own children. He also gave a warning that not everyone who calls him lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. God gave Jesus prophecy of his own death. He knew that Judas was going to betray him before his last meal. The prayer in Gethsemane was to ask God to fulfil his will to save his children. When the River Eurphrates runs dry and the kings of the East meet the West, in the valley of Jehesophat, the children will return to the greatest crime in history, the murder of Jesus Christ. The sun will turn black sackcloth, the moon will turn red and the stars will fall from the sky. The angels will then reap. The godly to go to heaven and the rest to be pressed in the winepress. The two witnesses from the messianic jews will prophesise about Jesus Christ`s second coming to his people. Those in Christ will have the promise of heaven and New Jerusalem, a new heaven and earth and no sea. The children will live in paradise.

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.

No.. I feel that he was brought to this earth to save his people, the people he loves.. If he didn`t died for us then this world would be a bad place to live it would be full of sin

No not at all. He was sent into this world to declare the GOSPEL and it was predestined that he should suffer and die and rise again on the third day so that we can have eternal LIFE. He preached the TRUTH without fear and when it was necessary to take the whip He did it. He did not either hesitate to call the religious leaders in their face, hypocretes. He accomplished the WILL OF GOD even unto death; a death on the cross. We are all expected to be forthright as he was without fear.

No not at all. He was sent to the world to declare the GOSPEL and it was predestined that he should come into this world as a human being and that he should preach the gospel and suffer and die. He was born to die so that we can LIVE. He preached the TRUTH without fear and when it was necessar to take the whip He did it. He did not hesitate to call the then religious leaders hypocretes in their face. He simply accomplished the WILL OF GOD even unto death; a death on the cross. He expects us to be as forthright as he was and suffer, if necessary without fear.
