Clarke's John 2:5 Bible Commentary
His mother saith, etc. - 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.
Barnes's John 2:5 Bible Commentary
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.
Wesley's John 2:5 Bible Commentary
2:5 His mother saith to the servants - Gathering from his answer he was about to do something extraordinary.
