Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
No! it was already planned in the bible that the son of man will be tortured and be killed by merceless people and after 3 days he will rise again from the dead.

Jesus did not incite his death, that was why he was humble to die, even when he has all the power to resist all that was done to him.

I think Jesus was aware of his fate, and just continued doing what he was supposed to do here on earth. Even if by doing so will lead to his eventual execution.

Jesus` Final Week
So, as per the events of Jesus` final week, it seems that the film Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson was more or less accurate of what has transpired from the day He was arrested to the day he was crucified. One can imagine the physical pain Jesus experienced to the Romans when he was being tortured, just for all mankind to be saved. But the more painful to His the emotional agony, the feeling being betrayed despite what He has done to the people during that time. I hope I can be able continously accept Him as my personal Savior and also for my wife, who has recently underwent two major operations. Though she is not healed yet, we are sure that Jesus was on her side during the operations and until now, as we keep on praying to Him to heal her very soon. God bless you all!

No. he was sent here to do a job and that was what he did.. He came here to save us from our sins..Father God knew what was going to happen to his son. Did Jesus Know, I think he did..he knew what his pursose on earth was for.

Jesus` death was planned from before He was even born. I think He wanted people and His disciples to know what to expect where His death was concerned.

No - He was stating the facts as he was to sent uphold. His doing so is the reason we all have a chance at eternal life with him. We just have to believe and follow HIM.
