Context of Luke 22:15

13So Peter and John went into the city. They found everything that Jesus had told them about. So they prepared the Passover meal. 14When it was time to eat the meal, Jesus arrived. He sat down with his apostles to eat it. He said to them, ‘I have wanted very much to eat this Passover meal with you. It has to happen before I die. 16I tell you this: I will not eat another Passover meal in this world. Now it is a picture. But when God begins to rule in his kingdom, then this meal will become real. I will eat it again then.’ 17Then Jesus took a cup and he thanked God for the wine. ‘Take this cup,’ he said to them. ‘Each of you drink some wine from it.
