The point is that Jesus DID use a whip. I disagree that he stayed out of politics.
He did not major in politics. However, He was not above tweaking the government.
Mark 8:15 Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
Luke 13:31 On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, “Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.”
