When Jesus cleared the temple of the
moneychangers and animal-sellers, He showed
great emotion and anger ( Matthew 21:12-13 ;
Mark 11:15-18 ; John 2:13-22 ). Jesus’ emotion
was described as “zeal” for God’s house ( John
2:17 ). His anger was pure and completely
justified because at its root was concern for
God’s holiness and worship. Because these
were at stake, Jesus took quick and decisive
action. Another time Jesus showed anger was
in the synagogue of Capernaum. When the
Pharisees refused to answer Jesus’ questions,
“He looked around at them in anger, deeply
distressed at their stubborn hearts” ( Mark 3:5 ).
Many times, we think of anger as a selfish,
destructive emotion that we should eradicate
from our lives altogether. However, the fact that
Jesus did sometimes become angry indicates
that anger itself, as an emotion, is amoral. This
is borne out elsewhere in the New Testament.
Ephesians 4:26 instructs us “in your anger do
not sin” and not to let the sun go down on our
anger. The command is not to “avoid
anger” (or suppress it or ignore it) but to deal
with it properly, in a timely manner. We note
the following facts about Jesus’ displays of
anger:

1) His anger had the proper motivation. In
other words, He was angry for the right
reasons. Jesus’ anger did not arise from petty
arguments or personal slights against Him.
There was no selfishness involved.

2) His anger had the proper focus. He was not
angry at God or at the “weaknesses” of others.
His anger targeted sinful behavior and true
injustice.

3) His anger had the proper supplement. Mark
3:5 says that His anger was attended by grief
over the Pharisees’ lack of faith. Jesus’ anger
stemmed from love for the Pharisees and
concern for their spiritual condition. It had
nothing to do with hatred or ill will.

4) His anger had the proper control. Jesus was
never out of control, even in His wrath. The
temple leaders did not like His cleansing of the
temple ( Luke 19:47 ), but He had done nothing
sinful. He controlled His emotions; His
emotions did not control Him.

5) His anger had the proper duration. He did
not allow His anger to turn into bitterness; He
did not hold grudges. He dealt with each
situation properly, and He handled anger in
good time.

6) His anger had the proper result. Jesus’
anger had the inevitable consequence of godly
action. Jesus’ anger, as with all His emotions,
was held in check by the Word of God; thus,
Jesus’ response was always to accomplish
God’s will.
When we get angry, too often we have improper
control or an improper focus. We fail in one or
more of the above points. This is the wrath of
man, of which we are told “Everyone should be
quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to
become angry, for man’s anger does not bring
about the righteous life that God
desires” ( James 1:19-20 ). Jesus did not
exhibit man’s anger, but the righteous
indignation of God.

So being enraged to the point of making a whip(on the spot) to lash at vendors in a temple is a "proper form of anger"?

Why asking in the first place if you knew all this.
