Note also that in the only gospel where the whip is mentioned, the construction of the weapon is premeditated. He didn’t just grab some leather strips off a table and start swinging; the action in John 2:15 starts specifically when he has made a φραγέλλιον, phrageillon in Greek, more famous in Latin as the flagellum.
φραγέλλιον phragéllion, frag-el’-le-on … a whip, i.e. Roman lash as a public punishment:—scourge. source
A different Greek word is used for ‘whip’ elsewhere in the New Testament; this one only occurs here in John, and in Matthew and Mark to describe the particularly Roman whipping Jesus receives later on.
Anyway, a flagellum is basically a cat o’ nine tails, and has either a braided leather handle or a heavy stick attached to cords with knots. Making one takes a while, and one worth using to drive out the cattle is going to take some chunks out of a moneychanger. Fancy Roman flagella that feature later on in the scripture had hooks and chains, and were sometimes gladiatorial weapons. Castlevania shit.

Like Whistling in the Dark, this song has a prominent bass drum beating out a dramatically scored march that starts austere and builds to boisterously orchestral. It also confronts the feeling of alienation from others when you’re alone in the dark....
This is the one-way masking everyone expects of the immune compromised, I’m just glad they can go boating in a public park together. Besides, that GP-5 is for da people. Manufactured in the millions, with vintage filter canisters absolutely chock full of wonderfully protective asbestos.
Russia’s catastrophic invasion of Ukraine means Armenia can no longer rely on Moscow as a guarantor of its security, even as fears grow of a return to open conflict with Azerbaijan, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan told POLITICO in an interview....
Pashinyan fucked that chance up soundly, Azerbaijan is likely to get everything they want and face limited consequences. His dithering and mistakes were a masterclass in serving your entire ass up on a platter. Here’s a foreign policy article studying it: www.tandfonline.com/doi/…/14683857.2022.2111111
It’s probably for the best, frothing milk in a French press inside a white-void kitchen isn’t an appropriate situation for a youngster. They need Jurassic Park style brushed steel counters with terrifying steam-belching hundred pound commercial espresso machines

When sailing in formal attire, what do we think about a life vest under the suit jacket? Tailoring for big enough shoulder pads would’ve made it blend right in, and the pop of day-glo orange would fit the aesthetic. Think of the yacht fashions we could’ve had!
The turtle isn’t allowed on the worksite without certification on donning procedures and a fit test within the past year. Supervisor must examine all documents and seals carefully before entry as, again, the turtle cannot be trusted.
Hatching with a shell is no excuse for neglect of PPE. Disregard for worksite safety guidelines fosters a cult of toxic masculinity that leads to workplace injury.
