That is not the only time he has taken himself off the pedestal that people seem to want to put him on. He did that when he confronted somebody for calling him 'good teacher'. Matthew 19:17.

That is why I don't refer to 'Jesus' but rather a philosophy for how we should be living our lives, a level of behaviour, self-governance and consciousness that allows us to fulfill the benefits we want to see manifested here for the benefit of all and then the Spiritual rewards will follow.

That is a very interesting observation. Thank you for sharing it, despite all the markup text mixed in with your post. ;)
