Contextual Overview
1And [on] the third day a wedding happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there, 2and also Jesus was called, and His disciples, to the wedding; 3and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus says to Him, "They have no wine"; 4Jesus says to her, "What [is that] to Me and to you, woman? My hour is not yet come." 5His mother says to the servants, "Whatever He may say to you—do."6And there were six water-jugs of stone there, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures. 7Jesus says to them, "Fill the water-jugs with water"; and they filled them—to the brim; 8and He says to them, "Draw out, now, and carry to the headwaiter"; and they bore. 9And as the headwaiter tasted the water become wine, and did not know where it is from (but the servants knew, who have drawn the water), the headwaiter calls the bridegroom, 10and says to him, "Every man, at first, sets forth the good wine; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; you kept the good 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.
