Exegesis
The verse opens with the temporal conjunction hos de egeusato {ὡς δὲ ἐγεύσατο | hōs dé e-geú-sa-to} “when he tasted,” which marks a new stage in the narrative and places the focus on the reaction that follows the miracle.
In context — John 2:9
When the master of the banquet tasted the water that had become wine and did not know from where it had come , though the servants who had drawn the water knew, the master of the banquet called the bridegroom.
