^I like Carl's suggestion the best, because of Mary's response to what 
Jesus said:


^5 λέγει ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ τοῖς διακόνοις· ὅ τι ἂν λέγῃ ὑμῖν ποιήσατε.
LEGEI hH MHTHR AUTOU TOIS DIAKONOIS: hO TI AN LEGHi hUMIN POIHSATE.

It seems to me that her response is to turn the task over to him by 
telling the servants to do what he tells them, thus taking herself out 
of the picture.
