>>“Honor thy Father and Mother”

pretty clear, huh?“Honor thy Father and Mother”

pretty clear, huh?<<

Apparently not. First, Mary is not MY mother. Second, you need to look up what is meant by “honor”. It is sort of in the vein that love is not a feeling, but an action. And when Jesus turned the water into wine, he “honored” his mother by doing what she asked. However, he also said this:

>>Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
“Is that your concern, or mine?” replied Jesus. “My time has not come yet.”<<

But he did it anyway. His mother asked him to. He “honored” her.

Jesus from the Cross:

“Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold your son!’ Then He said to the disciple, ‘Behold your mother!’ And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.” (John 19:25-27, NKJV throughout unless otherwise noted.)
The Amplified Bible quotes verse 26 of John 19 as follows:

“So Jesus, seeing His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing near, said to His mother, [Dear] woman, see, [here is] your son! “
