I believe that you should realize first, that Jesus was truly God in human form. He told us in John 10:30, that He and the Father are one. He did say that we should be fruitful and multiply. But when it was spoken by Jesus, it was actually God giving the commandment. And Jesus never committed a sin of any kind. Just accept the fact that God is the boss, instead of ever believing that Jesus would brake a commandment that He Himself has made. The fact that you don't understand exactly the matter of Jesus the Son being the same as the Father is nothing to worry about; except just don't try to understand it. For no person can fully understand it. Just believe it.

That's is no commandment. Do you not understand the difference between a instruction and commandment?
Jesus was not married. Jesus was not bound under the Law of Moses. Only man was bound by the law.

He didn't break the commandment because he did bring followers to god which technically means. Jesus bore fruit so he did follow the commandment

May I remind you that many also said no...There's ample proof that Jesus was in fact married in other books that were disgarded by the Council of Nicea. Not only that it's said that those books also document his having a few children. Now of course it's all speculation as I haven't ever seen any of the books personally, however the Da Vinci Code despite it's being fiction is based loosley upon some of that scriptural writing.
Because it's disadvantageous to make a man more than a man if he has family and was just born normally they made him a bachelor so they could easily deify him in a male dominated world. PEACE!

The only 'commandments' Jesus broke were those humans had commanded. That should be a clue.

No it does not mean he broke God's commandment. His was a kingdomnot of this world (a physical world) but a mental/spiritual kingdom; (per him when he was before Pilate). He 'birthed several followers; Christianity.

By multiply it means make disciples not go have children. However, God said that you can get married and that you wouldn't be sinning, but if you don't get married it is even better, bcuz that way you don't have someone who you love more than God. And please capitalize Jesus' name in the question definition.
