It is worthy of note that at the beginning of the conversation that led to the Miracle (1st Miracle John Chapter 2); that Jesus did and manifested His glory and His fame went abroad, Jesus felt it wasn’t time yet for Him to do anything. Knowing the routine of Jesus, He must have got up early that morning to pray and commune with the father and the Father didn’t mention to Him that He was going to work a miracle that day that will manifest His glory, so Jesus must have attended the wedding at Cana not with the intention of working miracles. So when His mother asked Him to do something about the finished wine, Jesus had no such thing on His to-do list, he simply replied (contemporary) “ excuse me, ma’am, what’s my business with that, it’s not yet time”, However, Jesus did a miracle and salvaged the wedding.
