That's my favorite Bible story because it humanizes Jesus so much to just once flip out and whoop some ass. He wasn't divinely chill all the time; he usually restrained himself.
Jesus comes across as kind of mean to his disciples at times. It's less obvious in some of the other gospels, but in Mark, which is a lot shorter and contains a lot fewer sermons, the dialogue with the disciples really stands out and Jesus often admonishes them for pretty understandable things. Jesus isn't really portrayed by the gospels as being "divinely chill" so much as having infinite wisdom and little patience for people who are wrong.
Mark is also (believed to be) the earliest gospel, so the ways it varies from the others is pretty interesting. Particularly against John which is the (relatively) newest.
There was also the story where as a kid he was studying plants and got annoyed with the neighbour kid who was trying to play with him. He killed the neighbour kid and returned to his plants.
I like the one where the druid Elisha summoned bears to murder children because they mocked his bald head.
If people were using my dad's house to scam people, I'd be pissed and kick them out too.
