Luke 22:18

18 For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

Luke 22:18 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:18

For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the
vine
That is, wine; see the blessing at the passover cup in the notes on the preceding verse: until the kingdom of God shall come;
with power, as in ( Mark 9:1 ) in the resurrection of Christ from the dead; in his exaltation and session at God's right hand; in the pouring forth of the Spirit on the apostles; in the conversion of great multitudes, both in Judea, and in the Gentile world; in the destruction of the Jews; in the latter day glory; and in the ultimate state of happiness and bliss in the world to come. The Ethiopic version reads, "until I drink it new in the kingdom of God"; as in ( Mark 14:25 ) (See Gill on Matthew 26:29).
