How do we know Jesus was angry in the temple?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible records that Jesus expressed His anger by physically driving out the money changers and those selling animals, demonstrating His zeal for the purity of worship.

In John 2:13-16, it is documented that Jesus made a whip and drove out those who were turning the temple into a marketplace. His actions were not just symbolic; they were a clear display of righteous anger concerning the irreverence shown in God’s house. His point was that the temple, a sacred space for worship, had been desecrated by commercial activities that distracted from true worship. Jesus' anger was born from His zealous love for His Father’s house, and it serves as a warning to contemporary believers to critically evaluate how the church is operated today.
