SCRIPTURE

"for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come." — Luke 22:18 (ASV)

For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine That is, wine; see the blessing at the passover cup in the notes on the preceding verse: until the kingdom of God shall come; with power, as in (Mark 9:1) in the resurrection of Christ from the dead; in his exaltation and session at God's right hand; in the pouring forth of the Spirit on the apostles; in the conversion of great multitudes, both in Judea, and in the Gentile world; in the destruction of the Jews; in the latter day glory; and in the ultimate state of happiness and bliss in the world to come.

The Ethiopic version reads, "until I drink it new in the kingdom of God"; as in (Mark 14:25) (See Gill on Matthew 26:29).
