Albert Barnes Commentary John 2:8

"And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it." — John 2:8 (ASV)

Draw out now. This command was given to the servants. It showed that the miracle had been immediately performed. As soon as the water-pots were filled, the servants were directed to take some to the governor of the feast. Jesus made no display about it, and it does not even appear that He approached the water-pots. He willed it, and it was done. This was a clear exertion of divine power, performed in such a manner as to leave no doubt of its reality.

The governor. This referred to the one who presided over the occasion, the one who stood at the head or upper end of the table. He was in charge of the entertainment, provided the food, gave directions to the servants, and so on.
