Did Jesus Justify Violence by Cleansing the Temple?

NERDINESS:

CATEGORY: Jesus, Violence

“I’ve heard many people use the story of Jesus cleansing the temple to say that Jesus approves of violence. It seems that violence isn’t part of the Prince of Peace’s character, but some translations like the King James Version make it seem as if Jesus strikes humans with the whip. How should I read these verses?”
