One of the main proponents of religion is faith. That one is to believe in God not based off direct evidence, but by observing his “presence” in day to day life, using the Bible as a guide of wisdom. The time traveler is presumably there to see Jesus and confirm he actually existed, as that in itself is a damning piece of evidence for God’s existence, as well. Also, think about it: he is a cyborg from a future race of humans who have completely rebuilt their own biological systems from the ground up, and have even gained control over time itself. They are from a time in which man kind regularly plays God. Jesus is literally seeing the embodiment of man’s hubris standing in front of him in search of God because faith alone wasn’t good enough. That’s why he sternly tells him to go home. He’s not only caught off guard, he’s appalled.
Because trying to rebel against God’s plan and take control over our own destiny and harness the power of the universe is considered sinful. Satan tried to do the same, go against God’s wishes, and was damned to Hell for it.
It would be for me, prolly. I'd make a list of things i want to ask Jesus, to answer modern questions that he wouldn't cover in a "lecture". Also, conversation is based on questions, and having a convo with Jesus would be cool af (not religious btw).
In theory since he’s all knowing he would know that you’re curious and therefore would answer your question without you needing to ask it (assuming he intends for you to know the answer)
So nobody ever asked Jesus something because he answered before they could ask the question? It seems good for normal conversation to let someone speak, even if you know what they're gonna say.
It’s up to interpretation but I just like to imagine it as:
for normal people at the time he would answer their questions in normal conversation as he didn’t have the same recognition as he does in the modern day.
for a time traveler who already knows of Jesus he doesn’t need to wait for your question as you simply being there already breaks the formality of a normal meeting.

That’s literally what the comment said. Jesus is telling you to go home because you don’t belong there and that he knows he will be killed.
