Luke 22:18

18 I tell you, I will not drink wine with you again until God's kingdom comes."

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).

Luke 22:18 In-Context

16 I tell you, I will not eat the Passover meal again until it is celebrated in God's kingdom."
17 After Jesus took the cup, he gave thanks. He said, "Take this cup and share it among yourselves.
18 I tell you, I will not drink wine with you again until God's kingdom comes."
19 Then Jesus took bread. He gave thanks and broke it. He handed it to them and said, "This is my body. It is given for you. Every time you eat it, do it in memory of me."
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup. He said, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. It is poured out for you.
