In biblical times, such a preface was often used by prophets to convey divine truth. Jesus, as the ultimate prophet, priest, and king, uses this phrase to underscore the significance of His words.that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine The "fruit of the vine" refers to wine, a staple in Jewish meals and a symbol of joy and celebration. In the context of the Last Supper, it represents the new covenant in Jesus' blood. By stating He will not drink it again, Jesus signifies the end of His earthly ministry and the impending fulfillment of His sacrificial mission. This abstention also points to the future Messianic banquet, a theme found in <a href="/isaiah/25-6.htm">Isaiah 25:6</a> and <a href="/revelation/19-9.htm">Revelation 19:9</a>.from now on This phrase marks a transition point, indicating a change in Jesus' actions and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. It highlights the immediacy of the events leading to the crucifixion and the ushering in of a new era through Jesus' death and resurrection.until the kingdom of God comes The "kingdom of God" is a central theme in Jesus' teaching, representing God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His promises. This phrase anticipates the eschatological hope of God's kingdom being fully realized. It connects to prophecies in <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a> and the expectation of a future where God's reign is complete. Jesus' statement assures believers of the certainty of this future reality, where they will share in the eternal joy and fellowship with Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is speaking to His disciples during the Last Supper, a pivotal moment before His crucifixion. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a> The immediate audience of Jesus' words, they are His closest followers who are present at the Last Supper. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_last_supper.htm">The Last Supper</a> This event is a significant moment in the New Testament, where Jesus shares a final meal with His disciples and institutes the Lord's Supper. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_kingdom_of_god.htm">The Kingdom of God</a> A central theme in Jesus' teachings, referring to God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His divine plan. 5. <a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a> The city where the Last Supper takes place, significant in Jewish history and prophecy.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/a/anticipation_of_the_kingdom.htm">Anticipation of the Kingdom</a> Jesus' words remind believers to live with an expectation of the coming kingdom of God.

(See Notes on <a href="/matthew/26-29.htm" title="But I say to you, I will not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.">Matthew 26:29</a>; <a href="/mark/14-25.htm" title="Truly I say to you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.">Mark 14:25</a>.) Here the words precede, in the other Gospels they follow, the institution of the Lord's Supper. It is not probable that the same words were repeated both before and after. The position which it occupies here, as standing parallel to what had before been said of the Passover, seems on the whole in favour of St. Luke's arrangement. On the other hand, it is noticeable, whatever explanation may be given of it, that St. Matthew and St. Mark omit (in the best MSS.) the word "new" as connected with the "covenant," and emphasise it as connected with "the fruit of the vine," while he omits in the latter case, and emphasises it in the former. It is, perhaps, allowable to think of him as taught by St. Paul, and possibly by Apollos, to embrace more fully than they did, in all its importance, the idea of the New Covenant as set forth in Galatians 3, 4, and Hebrews 7-10. <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-18.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For γὰρ (gar) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> For.
