Where did Jesus get angry?

A:In the gospels, Jesus could be both irrational and angry. For example, Mark 11:13-15 tells of Jesus cursing a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season. Most famously, Jesus angrily overturned the tables of the monechangers in the Temple, even though they were performing a necessary duty sanctioned by the Temple priests.


Do you think Jesus was right to overthrow the tables of the traders in the temple?

The moneychangers were doing an important function in the operation of the Temple and their presence was approaved, even required, by the priests who ran the Temple. They had yhe right to be there. If Jesus thought otherwise, he could have complained to the priests or arranged peaceful protests. We are taught it is a sin to attack others or disrupt their lawful occupation. This is what Jesus is said to have done.
