Can you explain the word picture Jesus uses (vs. 27) about how to rob the house of a strong man?

As Jesus has explained how to rob the strong man that is by tying him first. So to defeat the devil we should first tie our spirit and soul with the word of God. We should have strong self control towards the things of the flesh then we can be successful in our spiritual life.

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

Jesus didn’t need to incite his death. as the son of God he was fully aware of the purpose of his life in this world. Jesus only did what he was predestined and had authority to do. Sometimes as human beings with our values we compromise our Christian values, due to various factors. Our love for our family and friends, our circumstances, our feelings etc. are some of them. But that doesn’t make it right in the sight of God. Jesus did exactly what he was meant to do. Jesus never compromised. He didn’t tell the Samaritan woman, it’s Ok God will forgive you and you can continue in your ways. What he said was you are forgiven, sin no more.Once we receive forgiveness we are expected to ACT as a Christian. Jesus had no need ‘to incite’ as such. He acted justly, when any act was wrong he immediately took a stand fearlessly. He accused the temple leaders when they were using the temple for wrong purposes. The so called “leaders” were to be accountable in their ways. We too are called upon to act likewise. The temple leaders. As the son of God he could have done or avoided doing anything. But he CHOSE to DO, take ACTION, when he witnessed wrongful acts.

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

Because I believe Jesus was to carry all the pain for our sins. It was through physical torture that he shed His Holy blood. He shed His blood for men.That's the only way men could be saved. His blood was/is the purest sacrifice God wanted. Animal atonement was in the Old Testament.I know God must have been very grieved at His Son's suffering. But was there any other way?
