The mother of Christ understood the character of her Son, and bowed in submission to his will. She knew that he would comply with her request if it was best to do so. Her manner evidenced her perfect faith in his wisdom and power, and it was this faith to which Jesus responded in the miracle that followed. Mary believed that Jesus was able to do that which she had desired of him, and she was exceedingly anxious that everything in regard to the feast should be properly ordered, and pass off with due honor. She said to those serving at table, “Whatsoever he sayeth unto you, do it.” Thus she did what she could to prepare the way. {2SP 103.1}

(103) Kristi moder kendte sin søns karakter, og hun bøjede sig underdanig for hans vilje. Hun vidste, at han ville opfylde hendes bøn, dersom det var bedst at gøre det. Hendes opfordring viste, at hun havde fuldkommen tillid til hans visdom og magt, og det var denne tro, som Jesus imødekom ved det mirakel, han udførte. Maria troede, at Jesus var i stand til at gøre det, som hun havde bedt ham om, og hun var meget ængstelig for, at alt med hensyn til festen skulle udføres ordentlig og ske med tilbørlig anstand. Hun sagde til dem, som tjente ved bordet: "Hvad som han siger jer, gør det!" Således gjorde hun hvad hun kunne, for at berede vejen.
