SCRIPTURE

"But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father`s kingdom." — Matthew 26:29 (ASV)

But I say unto you, 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.

Taking, as it were, the great Nazarite vow never to taste of the fruit of the vine "until that day." He will keep his appointment with us, my brothers; and we will drink the new vine of his Father's kingdom with him eventually; but, until then, he waits.

But I say unto you, 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.

Thus Jesus took the great Nazarite vow never to drink of the fruit of the vine until he drinks it new with his disciples in his Father's kingdom.

He will keep his promised meeting with all his followers, and they with him will hold a great festival forever.

Thus Jesus took the great Nazarite vow never to drink of the fruit of the vine until He would drink it new with His disciples in His Father’s kingdom. He will keep His tryst with all His followers, and they with Him shall hold high festival forever.

But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Jesus took the Nazarite vow to drink no more, to partake no more of the fruit of the vine, until he meets us again in his Father's kingdom. He has pledged us once for all in that cup, and now he abstains until he meets us again. Thus he looks forward to a glorious meeting; but he directs us to take the cup, and thus remember him until he comes.
