Hi Pastor John-
I don’t understand this verse from John 2:4. Would you explain it please?
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.”
Thanks

Hi Michelle,
This is our translation of that part of John 2:
3. And when the wine had run out, Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no wine.”
4. But Jesus said to her, “What’s that to you and me, mother? My hour hasn’t yet come.”
5. His mother said to the attendants, “Whatever he says to you, do it.”
Jesus actually did use the word, “woman”, but that did not carry with it the sense of rudeness that comes across in English, so we just replaced it with “mother”, which is closer to the sense of what Jesus said.
