"Jesus’ anger is not merely the seamy side of his pity; it is the righteous reaction of his moral sense in the presence of evil. But Jesus burned with anger against the wrongs he met with in his journey through human life as truly as he melted with pity at the sight of the world’s misery: and it was out of these two emotions that his actual mercy proceeded."

Thus... the anger of Christ which proved that the unbounded compassion he manifested to sinners “was really mercy and not mere tolerance.”
