Contextual Overview

1 And, on the third day, a marriage, took place, in Cana, of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there, - 2 and Jesus also was invited, with his disciples, unto the marriage. 3 And, wine falling short, the mother of Jesus saith unto him - Wine, have they none! 4 And Jesus saith unto her - What part can I take with thee, O woman? Not yet, hath come, mine hour. 5 His mother saith unto them who are ministering - Whatsoever he may say to you, do! 6 Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures. 7 Jesus saith unto them - Fill the vessels with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them - Draw out now, and be bearing unto the master of the feast. And they bare. 9 And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, - though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him - Every man, first the good wine, setteth out; and, when they had been well-supplied, the inferior: - Thou, hast kept the good wine until, even 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.
