(15,569 posts)A Gentile woman asked Jesus to help her suffering child. First he ignored her pleas, then he compared her to a dog begging at the master's table, because, he said, I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, and she was was of a different ethnicity. Only after she debased herself, and agreed with that characterization of her, did he relent and heal the child. Matthew 15:21-28
When Jesus was offended by the presence of the money changers and sellers of sacrificial animals in the temple, he didn't go explain to them why he thought they were doing wrong, and ask them to please stop. Instead, he constructed a weapon, attacked the people, drove the animals out into the street, and vandalized the place. John 2:13
He cast demons into a large herd of pigs, and the pig were drowned. There's no indication that the owners of the pigs were compensated, and the townspeople asked Jesus to leave. Matthew 8:30-34
