Mary and Jesus, Mother and Son of God.
Mary was present when, at her suggestion, Jesus worked his first miracle during a wedding at Cana by turning water into wine.
It is important to note that Mary never specifically asks Jesus to make wine, but simply states the situation. It is possible she understood that Jesus had the power to do something, because she does tell the servants to do whatever he tells them to do. Still, there is no direct request by Mary, and it is evident that Mary does not know what Jesus might do, if anything. It is possible that Jesus could have gone and purchased wine from somewhere else to alleviate the shame of the family. The family would definitely experience shame for running out of wine, so perhaps Mary was concerned for the honor of the family. This seems to be the most likely reason for why Mary would share this concern with Jesus.
