SCRIPTURE

"Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim." — John 2:7 (ASV)

Fill (γεμισατε). Effective first aorist active imperative of γεμιζω, to fill full.

With water (υδατος). Genitive case of material.

Up to the brim (εως ανω). "Up to the top." See εως κατω (Matthew 27:51) for "down to the bottom." No room left in the waterpots now full of water.
