Because he did not appreciate the mocking, the hypocrisy of so many people who claimed to be following the word of God?
When the Temple in Jerusalem was built it was built for God. It was supposed to be a sanctuary where people could safely go and worship, no worship taking place, it was all about money, money, money, like it was a bank or a shore where trading is to take place.
Jesus turned over the money tables. Everything became mixed up and confusing.
Do most people want to think Jesus was so docile he just laid down like a lap dog to be whipped? he laid down his life on his own so we could have a chance to live, where would we be now if he did not do that?

Rightous anger with resolve isn't a sin, and makes him no less the Son Of God. He was justified in being angry.

Jesus spent the first 30 years of his life as the son of a carpenter--I would imagine he helped his father--most of the time Jesus could let people talk themselves into trouble. He also turned over the tables of the money changers. Those tables were said to be quite heavy. He did at that time manifest Righteous Indignation. He being perfect needs no anger.

Jesus was meek but by no means weak He got angry when they tried turning His Fathers house into a den of thieves vengeance is mine saith the Lord and He will not tolerate being mocked for all time

Yes, Jesus did get angry when he overturned the money tables. But he never sinned.
Many Baptist churches will not allow selling anything in the worship center.

Jesus was a G. He disobeyed the law, hung with his homboys and he didn't snitch nobody when he caught a case, even though he got snitched.
That is of course if you have any reason for believing all that. To me the bible has the plausibility of a comic book and comics have a better moral standard.

I think people should read "Jesus, Mean and Wild"....it's a VERY good book!
Jesus had times of righteous anger, but never self-centered anger. His anger was in response to injustice / people's lack of compassion for others / lack of respect for the Father.

Jesus did get angry, but he never lost self control. That made him no less the Son of God. His behavior in the temple was even prophesied. John 2:17; Ps. 69:9

I think Jesus had all the same emotions as we do. He more than likely had better control over them. That's why he loves us because he knows exactly how we feel.

Are you sure he never got angry, I think he did. Anger is just a feeling, not a sin.

Jesus was a creator of tables and chairs. That's it. Nothing more. Get over it.
