Contextual Overview
1 ON the third day there was a marriage feast in Cana, a city of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 And Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the marriage feast. 3 And when the wine decreased, his mother said to Jesus, They have no wine. 4 Jesus said to her, What is it to me and to you, woman? my turn has not yet come. 5 His mother said to the helpers, Whatever he tells you, do it. 6 And there were six stone jars placed there for the purification of the Jews, which could hold several gallons each. 7 Jesus said to them, Fill the jars with water; and they filled them up to the brim. 8 Then he said to them, Draw out now, and bring it to the chief guest of the feast. And they brought it. 9 And when the chief guest tasted the water that had become wine, he did not know whence it had come; but the helpers knew, who had drawn the water. Then the chief guest called the bridegroom 10 And said to him, Every man at first brings the best wine; and when they have drunk, then that which is weak; but you have kept the best wine until now.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
His mother said unto the servants,.... She took the reproof in good part, and by the words he said, and the manner in which he spoke them, or by the looks he gave, and the gestures he might use, she hoped, and even believed, that the thing she moved for would be done; and therefore went immediately to the servants, and gave them the following instructions:
whatsoever he saith unto you, do [it]; punctually observe and obey his orders in every circumstance.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
His mother saith ... - It is evident from this verse that his mother did not understand what he had said as a harsh reproof and repulse, but as an indication of his willingness at the proper time to furnish wine. In all this transaction he evinced the appropriate feelings of a son toward a mother.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 2:5. His mother saith, &c.] The virgin seems to have understood our Lord as hinted above. It was not yet time to grant them a supply, because the want had not as yet been generally felt. But, silently receiving the respectful caution, she saw that the miracle should be wrought when it best suited the purposes of the Divine wisdom.
