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

Jesus wasn't trying to incite his own death- he was human after all so didn't want to die an early death. Rather, Jesus knew what was wrong and what was right so told it as it was. He didn't care about the reaction he would receive if he trod of people's toes. He knew what God wanted him to say and do, so he followed his Father's guidance and Word.

Why did Jesus´ penalty for "sin" need to include physical and emotional pain - why not just spiritual separation from God?

Jesus wanted to suffer as we suffer as humans. He wanted to demonstrate that he could take all the physical and emotional suffering any man could endure and still, in the face of this adversity, follow the Father and his commandments unconditionally. Perhaps this type of suffering was somewhat lesser than being spiritually separated from God.

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

No way! Jesus was only preaching the truth. Unfortunately the religious people of the day felt that Jesus was trying to bring their religion down. If only they knew he was everything the scriptures fore-told, the Messiah, even the three Magi knew this by studying the scriptures.

God had a plan for his son- it was un-written and destined for his son. A plan that Jesus reaalised at the Garden of Gethsemanene when his father said "Father, your will be done!"

Jesus felt afraid at very poignant moments, but never wanted to antagonise people to kill him.
