no he did not.
When Jesus cleared the temple of the moneychangers and animal-sellers, He showed great emotion and anger (Matthew 21:12-13; Mark 11:15-18; John 2:13-22). Jesus’ emotion was described as "zeal" for God’s house (John 2:17).

Jesus' saying turn the other cheek didn't mean to let people take advantage of you. What he was saying is forgive. He was meek but he didn't let people stomp all over him. He gladly laid down his life at the end so he could die for all mankind's sin. A person who is meek is the equivalent of a steed that is broken by a horse trainer. They have power but it is in control. When he got angry it was righteous anger. Case in point. At the temple the money changers and people doing business on the steps of God's house. The things they were doing were dishonest. Jesus went there and in righteous anger he turned over the tables and confronted them about their sins. Many said that he was out of control but it was God in control of his power and not doing what he could have in justice.

That business at the temple wasn't about Jesus or His personal feelings. It was about people disrespecting His Father and taking advantage of His people when they went to present their sacrifices. We are not to defend our own 'honor'. But we ARE supposed to defend the weak and helpless.
Jesus was made man, like us in all things BUT sin.

He was perfect ----we are not. What we believe and think are impure thoughts. His actions were not. He allowed himself to be put on a stake/cross, how much more can you turn your cheek then that ?
