OET (OET-LV) The mother of_him is_saying to_the servants:
Do whatever anything wishfully he_may_be_saying to_you_all.
In this section Jesus, his disciples, and his mother went to a wedding. The guests there drank all the wine that the host had provided. Jesus’ mother told Jesus that there was no more wine, and then she told the servants to obey Jesus.
Jesus told the servants to fill the water jars with water. When they did that, he told them to serve some to the man in charge of the wedding. The man tasted it and said that the bridegroom had saved the best wine until the end of the wedding. This miracle convinced Jesus’ disciples to believe in him.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Jesus did a miracle at a wedding
The wedding at Cana
Jesus’ mother noticed that the wine was gone and tried to convince Jesus to do something. He indicated that it was not the right time for him to act. However, Jesus’ mother told those around to obey him.
His mother said to the servants,
Then his mother said to the servants,
Jesus’ mother told the servants anyway,
But his mother told the servants
His mother said to the servants: It seems that Jesus’ mother did not understand that Jesus’ answer refused her request for help. She must have thought that at the right time Jesus would do something. Some translations imply this by supplying a conjunction. For example:
Jesus’ mother then told the servants (GNT)
“Do whatever He tells you.”
“Whatever Jesus tells you(plur) to do, do it.”
“Obey/Follow(plur) all his instructions.”
to do whatever Jesus told them to do.
Do whatever He tells you: Jesus’ mother told the servants that they should obey Jesus. For example:
Do whatever Jesus tells you to do (CEV)

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
2:1–10:42 Jesus illustrated his identity and work through the institutions and festivals of Judaism (see 2:1; 5:1).
