14In the temple courts He found men selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and money changers seated at their tables. 15So He made a whip out of cords and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle. He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16To those selling doves He said, Get these out of here! How dare you turn My Fathers house into a marketplace!

Did he whip anyone? That verse does not say he did. It merely says he drove "both sheep and cattle" from the temple and overturned the tables of the money changers.
He did not kill anyone. It is questionable whether he merely drove the sheep and cattle or people out with the whip.
Christians, based on other teachings of Jesus, do not believe that he whipped the money changers or the men selling their cattle, sheep and doves.
I wasn't there.
