3 So when the wine had given out, Jesus' mother says to Him, "They don’t have any wine!" 4 Jesus says to her: "What is that to you and me, woman?Jesus was not being disrespectful; this was a normal form of address. My time has not yet come."I conclude from 1:43 that Jesus was at that wedding on purpose, and probably had an idea of what would happen. Perhaps He was testing His mother’s faith, and maybe her determination. However, as He declares, He was not yet ready to really go public—He would do that in Jerusalem, as recorded in 2:13-25. He would start with a bang, right in the Temple! 5 His mother says to the servants, "Do whatever He may tell you."Mary was evidently in a position to issue orders, which leads me to suspect that she was the mother of the bride, which would also explain why Jesus made a special effort to get there. From verse 12 below, it appears that the whole family was there.
