It’s very clear Jesus was trying to Martyr himself. Dude walks into a Roman province and calls himself a king, or heir to one. Romans and kings don’t mix. Then he shows up in Jerusalem at the height of a pilgrimage month and holiday, when the entire Roman garrison is trying to keep the peace between religious and ethnic groups. He then walks into a temple and starts flipping shit and whipping people, pissing off the religious leaders who are now complaining to Roman authorities who don’t give a shit and just wanna keep the peace. And his followers are lopping off ears of soldiers. By the way why do Jesus disciples have swords? Why would Jesus need swords? Protection? He’s god no? Seems silly
assuming any of that even happened.
To be fair, he was not at all unique in doing this. First century Judaea was a very complicated place that ended in the fires of the Jewish-Roman Wars, the destruction of the Temple and the ethnic cleansing of the Jews by the Romans.
