Biblical Answer

Did Jesus ever get angry?

Yes, Jesus did get angry. In Mark 3:5, it is written that Jesus became angry when he saw the people were more interested in healing the man with the withered hand than in obeying God. Jesus was also grieved and indignant in Mark 10:14 when he saw children being hindered from coming to him. This shows that Jesus was capable of experiencing strong emotions, including anger.

However, Jesus' anger was not like human anger. It was not driven by a desire for revenge or a need to assert his power. Rather, it was a righteous anger that was motivated by a desire to uphold God's law and to protect those who were vulnerable. Jesus' anger was also not expressed in a way that was destructive or hurtful to others. Instead, it was a call to action, a warning that God's judgment was near.

In contrast to God, who is not described as being angry (as a verb of action), but rather as experiencing wrath (prge) against sin, Jesus' anger was a human response to the sin and injustice that he saw around him. While Jesus' anger was a real emotion, it was not something that he indulged in or allowed to control him. Rather, it was a catalyst for action, a reminder that God's justice and righteousness must be upheld. As we see in Scripture, Jesus' anger was a call to repentance and a warning of the consequences of sin.
