Context of Luke 22:16
14When it was time to eat the Passover meal, Jesus and the apostles were at the table. 15Jesus said to them, “I’ve had a deep desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. I can guarantee that I won’t eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in God’s kingdom.” 17Then he took a cup and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He said, “Take this, and share it. 18I can guarantee that from now on I won’t drink this wine until God’s kingdom comes.”
