Jo.2:4 Is there a disrespect?

(1/8) > >>

dave:
The Lord has me spend a good part of my study time in the first four chapters of Genesis; when I find myself not in that study, my reasoning goes to considering as to why is the answer of  John 2:4 from Jesus to His mother "seem" to have a tone of less than respectful? Or am I hearing the words wrong when I read them? Also, I believe there is a deeper meaning, first, the mother of Jesus was invited(she was there) and Jesus and the disciples were invited; His mother is the one who speaks up when the wine is gone, and turns to her son, who gives the response I inquire about. Yes, I believe there is a good word to be revealed.
Joh 2:4

(ASV)  And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

(CLV) And Jesus is saying to her, "What is it to Me and to thee, woman! Not as yet is My hour arriving."

(KJV)  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

(Rotherham)  And Jesus saith unto her—What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour.

(RYLT-NT)  Jesus said to her, 'What -- to me and to you, woman? not yet is mine hour come.'

(WNT)  "Leave the matter in my hands," He replied; "the time for me to act has not yet come."

(YLT)  Jesus saith to her, `What--to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.'

Peace and Love Through Jesus

Hi Micha7:9

Your question : Is there a disrespect? .... throws light to the possibility that perhaps there was no disrespect!  8)

Jesus spoke in Parables.

Joh 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My Judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but The Will of The Father which hath sent Me.
Joh 8:38  I speak that which I have seen with My Father:

Carnality is at enmity with Spirit.

I agree. Disrespect, is only how the carnal mind would see this response which actually is not a response, but a disclosure that the Scriptures edify us to understand, the way in which Jesus communicated, revered, obeyed and understood His Father!

Thank you for your excellent question!

Blessings to you as God inspires you to see beyond the carnal realm of human limitation.

Micah,

I'm not sure what you mean when you say a 'good word to be revealed'. It's a judgmental question you are asking and each person's opinion will vary. And I'm pretty sure you won't find many people willing to judge our Lord's words and call them disrespectful.

Jesus told her, in layman's terms: 'What difference is this matter ('who cares' or 'why is this important') of wine between you and me? My time to preach the gospel has not yet come.' Jesus spoke the truth, which to some will always sound uncomfortable. But that does not make it disrespectful.


Hope this helps,

Marques

" My time to preach the gospel has not yet come.'"

I thought that Jo. 1:38-51 shows Jesus was already if not at least started to preach. Doesnt "my hour has not come..." doesnt that speak of His time of sacrifice?

Maybe the word disrespect was wrong. It just "sounds" like there is a tone for a seemingly harmless question. I don't expect that people should judge, and I hope you don't think my question was a judging one. I reason that whatever my Lord spoke that there is word of knowledge within.

Thank you.

"Jesus spoke in Parables. " Arc

That was the thought when was reading. Thank you for your input.
