Or, “Woman, what is that between me and thee?”

The interpretation you give is what a modern person would interpret using today’s language. Who told you that should be interpreted to mean that “Mary was trying to get her son to reveal who He was prematurely”? There is nothing in the passage to indicate that. It appears that you are assuming (probably wrongly) that Christ Jesus was annoyed with His mother for telling Him that they were out of wine. I sincerely doubt that.

See, that's your problem...I don't require a religion to tell me what basic English words in the bible mean...And since I can read and I have normal comprehension skills, it's not too difficult to read what the scriptures say, and more importantly, believe...BTW, God wrote the bible so that people in any and every age could 'get it'...
