Luke 22:16 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

For I say unto you, I will not anymore eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God - or, as in Matthew 26:29, "I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom," or "in the kingdom of God" (Mark 14:25). The primary application of this, no doubt, is to the new Gospel kingdom to be fully erected when the old economy, with its Passover and temple-rites, should disappear. But the best interpreters agree that its only full and proper application is to that celestial kingdom of which He speaks so beautifully in Luke 22:30 - "that ye may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom," etc.
