Exegesis
The narrative then resumes with phonei ton nymphion ho architriklinos {φωνεῖ τὸν νυμφίον ὁ ἀρχιτρίκλινος | phō-neî tón nym-phí-on ho ar-khi-trí-kli-nos}, a present-tense historical vividness that uses a verb–object–subject order to foreground the action “calls the bridegroom” before restating the steward as subject, emphasizing his decisive response to what he has tasted. English word order is adjusted to a more typical subject–verb–object pattern and the parenthetical servant clause is rendered with “though/although” to keep the contrast while maintaining smooth narrative flow.
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.
