And Jesus had SO much concern for societal norms, you know, consorting with tax collectors and prostitutes, and flouting the Pharasaical laws, and calling the powers that be a den of vipers and whited sepulchres . . . and dying a shameful death as a criminal. . . .
He did exactly what He intended.

Having compassion for those ‘trapped in sin’ is not the same as placing a woman in a dangerous position by supporting her as the head of a church.
In those days (as in some current nations), that kind of talk and thinking would get the woman killed.

I see you beat me to it. Yes. You’re absolutely right, except I’d modify your statement to say Christ did what God the Father wanted. Christ made it quite clear He was following God’s will. It’s a minor distinction, because Christ and God have complete unity of purpose, but it’s a distinction Christ Himself made.
