Jesus Whips

As we come up fast on the Christmas holiday celebrating (in theory) the birth of Jesus, you might readily wonder what excuse the Prince of Peace has for turning up on a spanking blog. But it turns out that when he famously lost his cool with moneylenders in the temples, his furious reaction involved (at least in the subsequent popular imagination of Christians, as seen in their illuminated manuscripts) a whole lot of whip-swinging and flogger-whacking:

jesus hitting moneylenders with a stick

jesus whipping money lenders with a knotted flogger

jesus whips moneylenders

These all came from a twitter thread I saw yesterday, but when I returned to my bookmark to get the manuscript citations and give a credit, the thread had been deleted. Whoops!
