Which sort of leads into my question about this verse. I've heard people
express concern about how "rude" this phrase seems, coming from Jesus to his
mother. In this thread, I've heard proposals that ranged from quite abrupt
("what's that got to do with me") to the very gentle (Oun Kwon's rendering)
Do we have any good basis in the literature on which to judge the emotional
connotation of this phrase?
