Luca 22:16

16 poiché io vi dico che non la mangerò più finché sia compiuta nel regno di Dio.

Luca 22:16 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:16

For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof
Of the passover, and which now, with the rest of the ceremonial law, was to be abolished: until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God;
signifying, not that he should eat of it in the kingdom of God, where it would be fulfilled; seeing the passover was never more to take place, neither in the Gospel dispensation, nor in the heavenly glory; both which may be meant by the kingdom of God; but that he should never eat more of it in this ceremonial way, since it would have its accomplishment in each of those states: and it has been already fulfilled under the Gospel dispensation, which is often meant by the kingdom of God; in himself, who is the passover sacrificed for us, ( 1 Corinthians 5:7 ) for the passover lamb was a type of Christ, and he is the sum and substance of that shadow, and the fulfilling end of that type; it had its accomplishment in him; of which (See Gill on 1 Corinthians 5:7) and it will also be fulfilled in the kingdom of heaven, or eternal glory, when there will be a perfect deliverance of the saints from sin, Satan, and the world; which the deliverance of the Israelites out of Egypt was typical of, commemorated in the passover; and therefore then will be sung the song of Moses, and the Lamb; and then will Christ, and his true followers, eat and drink together in his Father's kingdom, and spend an endless eternity in never fading joys and pleasures.

Luca 22:16 In-Context

14 E quando l’ora fu venuta, egli si mise a tavola, e gli apostoli con lui.

15 Ed egli disse loro: Ho grandemente desiderato di mangiar questa pasqua con voi, prima ch’io soffra;

16 poiché io vi dico che non la mangerò più finché sia compiuta nel regno di Dio.

17 E avendo preso un calice, rese grazie e disse: Prendete questo e distribuitelo fra voi;

18 perché io vi dico che oramai non berrò più del frutto della vigna, finché sia venuto il regno di Dio.
