**Jesus was caught off guard**
I’m sure you didn’t mean it quite that way, for the Lord has never been caught off guard. Mary certainly couldn’t fix the situation herself, but knew it would hurt to ask her son. She may have thought that his growing reputation as a preacher was sufficient to inspire the servants and his disciples to hastily work the neighborhood, and find some wine. She may have been as amazed as any present as to how it all unfolded.
While not what I would call a rebuke, he certainly let her know her place was not to try and direct him at this point in his life.
“let her know her place”??? You can’t be serious. He fulfilled her request in spades. 150 gallons of the best wine ever!
