Mark 14:25 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:25

Verily I say unto you
This seems, to have been said after the eating of the passover, according to ( Luke 22:18 ) , but was, in reality, not till after the Lord's supper was ended, and the last cup was drank, which was wont to be drank at the passover: I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine;
that is, wine, until that day that I drink it new;
in a figurative and mystical sense; by which are meant the joys of heaven: in the kingdom of God;
Father, Son, and Spirit, upon the general resurrection of the dead, when the kingdom of the Mediator will be delivered up, and there will be no distinction of government; but God, Father, Son, and Spirit, will be all in all, and shall reign in the saints, and they with them, to all eternity; (See Gill on Matthew 26:29).
