Exegesis
This is immediately contrasted by the inserted clause hoi de diakonoi eideisan hoi entlekotes to hydor {οἱ δὲ διάκονοι ᾔδεισαν οἱ ἠντληκότες τὸ ὕδωρ | hoi dé di-á-ko-noi ḗ-dei-san hoi ēn-tlē-kó-tes tó hý-dōr}, where the servants, further defined by the perfect participle “who had drawn the water,” are explicitly said to know, creating a knowledge-ignorance contrast.
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.
