Luke 22:16

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 , "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" (). 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 - "that ye may eat and drink at My table in My kin...

7-18 Christ kept the ordinances of the law, particularly that of the passover, to teach us to observe his gospel institutions, and most of all that of the Lord's supper. Those who go upon Christ's word, need not fear disappointment. According to the orders given them, the disciples got all ready for the passover. Jesus bids this passover welcome. He desired it, though he knew his sufferings would follow, because it was in order to his Father's glory and man's redemption. He takes his leave of all passovers, signifying thereby his doing away all the ordinances of the ceremonial law, of which the passover was one of the earliest and chief. That type was laid aside, because now in the kingdom of God the substance was come....

Verse Luke 22:16. _UNTIL IT BE FULFILLED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD._] That is, until that of which the passover is a _type_ is fulfilled in my death, through which the kingdom of God, or of heaven, (See Matthew 3:2), shall be established among men....

EXPOSITION LUKE 23:1 THE LAST PASSOVER. LUKE 22:1, LUKE 22:2 _Short explanatory introduction._ LUKE 22:1 NOW THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD DREW NIGH, WHICH IS CALLED THE PASSOVER. These words show that many of the readers for whom this Gospel was intended were foreigners, who were unacquainted with Jewish terms such as the "Passover." _Passover _(τὸ πάσχα, חסף) means, literally, "a passing." The feast so named commemorated the manner

FOR I SAY UNTO YOU, I WILL NOT ANY MORE EAT THEREOF,.... Of the passover, and which now, with the rest of the ceremonial law, was to be abolished: UNTIL IT BE FULFILLED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD; signifying, not that he should eat of it in the kingdom of God, where it would be fulfilled; seeing the passover was never more to take place, neither in the Gospel dispensation, nor in the heavenly glory; both which may be meant by the kingdom of God; but that he should never eat more of it in this ceremonial way, since it would have its accomplishment in each of those states: and it has been already fulfilled under the Gospel dispensation, which is often meant by the kingdom of God; in himself, who is the passover sacrificed for us, 1 Corinthians 5:7 for the passover lamb was a type of Christ, and he is the sum and substance of that shadow, and the fulfilling end of that ty

Luke 22:1. _Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people._ Dastardly fear often drives men to the greatest crimes. He who is not brave enough to be master of his own spirit, and to follow the dictates of his own conscience, may do, before long, he little knows what. Because of the fear of the people, the chief priests and scribes were driven to compass the death of Christ by craft, and to bring him to his death by the cruel betrayal of Judas, one of his own apostles. Luke 22:3. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And t

THE LAST SUPPER (Mark 14:22 *, Matthew 26:26 *). Henceforth Lk. seems to be using another source in addition to (and in preference to) Mk. The revelation of the treachery of Judas is deferred till after the bread and the cup. Luke 22:15 seems to describe the Passover meal (but see below); the eating of unleavened bread is implied in Luke 22:16, as the drinking of the Passover cup is expressed in Luke 22:17. Then in Luke 22:19 (after Jesus-' last Passover) we have the institution
