Luke 22:18

Luke 22:18

16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it ^auntil it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves;

18 for ^aI say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 ^aAnd He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My ^bbody which is given for you; ^cdo this in remembrance of Me.”

20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ^a“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

21 ^aBut behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table.

22 ^aAnd truly the Son of Man goes ^bas it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

The fruit of the vine (tou genhmatov thv ampelou). So Mark 14:25; Matthew 26:29 and not oinov though it was wine undoubtedly. But the language allows anything that is "the fruit of the vine."

Come (elqh). Second aorist active subjunctive with ewv as in verse Luke 22:16. Here it is the consummation of the kingdom that Jesus has in mind, for the kingdom had already come.
