Biblical violence

Here's another update on my topical study of Biblical self-defense and conflict resolution.

The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables (John 2:13-15).

It doesn't seem like Jesus did this gently or non-violently. You can also see this story told in Mat 21:12f and Mark 11:15f.
