Here's what you falsely claimed:

Please also re-read John 2. People at the feast knew Jesus was different, special, and capable of miracles. However, they approached Mary, asking her for the help of her son.

Here's what the bible actually says:

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

No...No one knew anything about Jesus...No one approached Mary to ask her anything...All Mary was to them was Jesus' mother and the servants likely didn't know Jesus and his mother from Charlie Brown and Lucy...

So, it is in the Bible, the KJV Bible, and I didn’t make it up. Do you deny it now? Mary interceded for the host, to Jesus. Jesus did as His mother asked.

Yes, you made it up...You created your own little story which doesn't exist in the scriptures...You tried to make it look like everyone knew Jesus was God but yet those people went to Mary instead of God to give Mary a place to be revered...

You missed the first two verses:

1On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding.

Clearly, Jesus was no stranger to the host. To be a guest at a wedding, as the one described, was a very large honor. To be invited along with your entourage would have been an even very bigger deal. So, people knew He was special, or else he wouldn’t have been invited.

A few basic questions: How was it Mary came to know there was no wine? Why was it she told Jesus?

Your criticism is correct that my interpretation isn’t word for word. I overstated the knowledge people had regarding Jesus’ ability to perform miracles.

However, it is correct that Mary interceded on behalf of the host. She petitioned Our Lord to help. He obliged His mother, despite protesting (4 (And) Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” 7 Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim.).

And so, the Mother of God, has petitioned God on behalf of others, to the Lord. The Lord heard and acted upon her request. If this is true with wine, and on earth, how much more so with her in Heaven?
