When did Jesus behave dishonorably?
You posed the question; you provide the proof. At least provide the chapter and verse so the context can be checked.The words "Woman what have I to do with thee?" immediately come to mind but you can read all of the Gospels for yourself.When did Jesus behave dishonorably?

This is a DISCUSSION forum. Read the Bible for yourself is not a legitimate response.Posed the question for discussion, didn't pose it to provide any "proof"...but John 2:4 is something that I think could be discussed in relation to this question.You posed the question; you provide the proof. At least provide the chapter and verse so the context can be checked.

How is what he said to her in John 2:4 dishonorable?
All he is saying to her is (paraphrase) how is them having no more wine my business? or what has them having no more wine your problem or my problem?
The words "Woman what have I to do with thee?" immediately come to mind but you can read all of the Gospels for yourself.
That would be the issue in a nutshell...don't form your own opinion of what you think is right from the perspective of modern dayAll he is saying to her is (paraphrase) how is them having no more wine my business? or what has them having no more wine your problem or my problem?
This is John 2:4, KJV:
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
Very very very dishonorable I think, and dishonoring your mother is against the Mosaic law.

The words "Woman what have I to do with thee?" immediately come to mind but you can read all of the Gospels for yourself.
Let's start with a more accurate translation: "Woman, how does this concern of yours affect me?"
First, "Woman" was a term of respect, kind of like "Ma'am" would be today. However, some scholars point out that John may have had another point in mind with his Gospel. They point out that the first chapters in John seem to parallel the story of creation in God's new creation. John's purpose in using the word "Woman" is that in the new creation, Jesus is the original obedient man--and Mary is the obedient woman.
How is what he said to her in John 2:4 dishonorable?
Addressing your mother as "Woman," and then being a prophet and saying, "What have I to do with thee?" is very very very dishonorable to me.

You mean if YOU perceive that his actions broke the law does that mean that he necessarily did. The answer is of course, no.So if Jesus in the Bible behaved dishonorably toward his mother Mary, and dishonoring your mother is against the Mosaic law, did Jesus break that law...?
