8: και λεγει αυτοις αντλησατε νυν και φερετε τω αρχιτρικλινω και ηνεγκαν— edit Textus Receptus
8: And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.- edit KJV text
8: And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.— edit Douay text


Draw out now. This command was given to the servants. It showed that the miracle had been immediately wrought. As soon as they were filled the servants were directed to take to the governor of the feast. Jesus made no parade about it, and it does not even appear that he approached the water-pots. He willed it, and it was done. This was a clear exertion of divine power, and made in such a manner as to leave no doubt of its reality.

The governor. One who presided on the occasion. The one who stood at the head or upper end of the table. He had the charge of the entertainment, provided the food, gave directions to the servants, etc.
