I agree that Jesus' movement wasn't militant in nature. However, not being militant and being completely free of any and all violence are two very different things. You are jumping the gun in a number of ways to reach a predetermined conclusions rather than reading what the text states.
With all due respect, I don't think it is jumping the gun to conclude Jesus disavowed violence.
As one of the scholars I referenced earlier also notes, the challenge to any hypothesis seeking to qualify Jesus's non-violence "is the lack of any first century sources that unambiguously portray Jesus in a violent manner. There is no question that the overall portrayal of Jesus in the gospels is essentially non-violent. Nowhere does Jesus take up a weapon in order to kill, as rebels did. On the contrary, he advocates nonviolence, even in the face of imperial oppression...Moreover, they align with the non-violent representation of Jesus in all other material" (The Crucifiable Jesus (2019) p.147).
In this regard, we should consider how Jesus is portrayed in the earliest extra-synoptic material in the remainder of the New Testament. St. Paul's authentic epistles pre-date the composition of the canonical gospels by a number of decades and constitute our earliest source material for Christianity.
In 2 Corinthians, Paul tells us about the exemplary "meekness and gentleness of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:1). Paul likewise counsels how followers of Christ - imitating his 'gentleness' - must never "repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all [...] live peaceably with all" (Romans 12:17). In 1 Corinthians, he describes the conduct of people who are "wise in Christ [...] When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we speak kindly" (1 Corinthians 4:12-13).
Outside the Pauline corpus, Hebrews 12:3 informs us: "Consider him [Jesus] who endured such hostility against himself from sinners". Here Jesus is described as passively enduring hostility from 'sinners'.
1 Peter 2:23: "Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps [...] When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly".
Again, the first century community that gave us the letters of Peter had no memory or notion of a 'violent' Jesus but once more a Jesus who patiently endured abuse and never retaliated. This all works to further buttress the numerous occasions in the actual gospels where Jesus is recorded as having advocated nonviolence even in the face of oppression i.e. Mark 14:48; Matt 5:9, 26:52; Matt 5:39-44= Luke 6:29-6:35.
