Exegesis
The prepositional expression heos ano {ἕως ἄνω | hé-ōs á-nō}, literally “up to above,” is an idiomatic way of saying that the jars were filled right to the very top. In English, subject–verb–object order is regularized and the idiom is rendered with explicit language of completeness so that the thoroughness of the response is clearly communicated.
In context — John 2:7
Jesus said to them, “Fill the water jars with water,” and they filled them up to the brim .
