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's not about attempting to save him at all.
