Was Jesus trying to incite his death (eg. temple cleansing, accusation of leaders?)
No I don`t believe Jesus tried do anything except for the fact that Jesus wanted and still wants to save us all from sin. Jesus was sent to this world to free us all of sin and save us from it as well. He was also here to spread the message and the Word about our creator and our one and only Father. Some people did not believe Jesus and for this he was crucified on that cross for us. All the false accusations, defamations Jesus just shrugged off because He knew the truth and as long as God kept giving Him the strength and the courage and gained as many believers as he did and still is, that`s all that mattered and still does.

I do not believe that Jesus was trying to be executed. Jesus knew that he was going to die, but did not seem to do too much to try to prevent this. He knew that is imminent death was fast arriving, and that it was His Father`s will. If serving God meant that He would die, then Jesus was willing to die.

Never..he didn`t have to do anything to incite his death, , Jesus died on the cross cause it was written.Infact he lived his life as God wanted..He had to, for he knew that mHe only can save us the sinners.Ultimately he proved that he is the son of god who came to this earth to accomplish what is prophesised.

Why didn`t anyone contested the decision to kill the Lord, the majority thought He was the Messiah?

No. Jesus already knew the will of God and the reason why he came to earth. We was well preapared for his destiny and willingly he submitted to God`s will.

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.
