Albert Barnes Commentary John 2:5

"His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." — John 2:5 (ASV)

His mother saith, etc. 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 demonstrated the appropriate feelings of a son toward a mother.
