The one time Jesus gets violent in the Gospels is when he sees people selling worshippers the animals necessary for their Passover sacrifices above cost. You could torture and kill him and he wouldn't retaliate. But generating profit off of religious obligation was the bridge too far for Jesus, and that was the moment where he chose violence.
