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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago I like to imagine Jesus as a Saw Gerrera type.

I just picture him calmly sitting there, literally making a whip, while people are all like, "What the fuck are you doing, Jesus??" and, saying nothing, he just quietly continues... Until the whip is complete and it's time to kick some money-changer ass. permalink fedilink source parent
