Zerwick's "Biblical Greek" has another interesting possibility here - if the
clause after this, OUPW HKEI hH hWRA MOU, is taken as a question instead of
a statement, then it can be interpreted like this:
Mary: OINON OUK EXOUSIN. ("they have no wine")
Jesus: TI EMOI KAI SOI, GUNAI? OUPW hHKEI hH hWRA MOU? ("What is that to you
and me? Is not my hour already come?")
Mary: hO TI AN LEGHi hUMIN POIHSATE ("do whatever he says to you")
It seems to make sense...
