Yes and No. It was the Blessed Virgin Mary who asked her son (really told her son) they are out of wine. And what are her last words in the Bible? “Do whatever he tells you.” Mary always directs everything back to her Son, Jesus, truly human and truly divine.

This is a prime example of the danger of one verse theology. Catholics have taken this one verse out of all the NT and have built this notion that Mary somehow instructs Jesus on what to do for the rest of His life. The Bible teaches that He came to do His FATHER's will.

This has somehow morphed into the false worship/prayers to Mary and all of the other non-Biblical attributes assigned to her.

I don’t think she directs Jesus. She wanted to be in the background and have Jesus get the glory.

We have not taken this verse out of context at all.

“Do whatever HE says.”

“This is a prime example of the danger of one verse theology”

Then this must be the primest example of the mostest dangerest of multiple verse theology:

Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.x
46
Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.y
47
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
48
I am the bread of life.
49
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;z
50
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a
52
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?”
53
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54
Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
57
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.b
58
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

For the Greater Glory of God
