Does Christ's cleansing of the Temple contradict what he would later say in

[Sarsath]

Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
-Matthew 21:12

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. -Matthew 26:52

 

[Wordkeeper]

Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.
-Matthew 21:12

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. -Matthew 26:52

Well He did subject Himself to be whipped, just as He whipped the Temple clean of the touts.

I see the Temple as a type of Christ. It had to be cleaned so that those who entered could be with God, because only the pure will see God.

Jesus identified with Israel, the People of God, through whom the world would be saved. Therefore the cleansing He subjected Himself to, as a substitute Israel.

-Matthew 21:12

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. -Matthew 26:52

Where did he draw a sword?
Jesus didn't contradict himself.

The only account of the cleansing of the Temple that has Jesus using a whip speaks of Jesus using the whip to drive out the animals.

(John 2:15)
καὶ ποιήσας φραγέλλιον ἐκ σχοινίων πάντας ἐξέβαλεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ τά τε πρόβατα καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ τῶν κολλυβιστῶν ἐξέχεεν τὸ κέρμα καὶ τὰς τραπέζας ἀνέστρεψεν

The bold portion,
"He drove all out of the temple, the sheep and the oxen"

The word pantas, "all", is clarified as referring to the sheep and oxen. As for the money-changers it says He emptied their money and over-turned their tables. But it does not say He used violence on the money-changers at all. The whip of cords was used exclusively to drive out the animals.
