Context of Luke 22:17

15Jesus said to them, “I’ve had a deep desire to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16I can guarantee that I won’t eat it again until it finds its fulfillment in God’s kingdom.” Then 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.” 19Then Jesus took bread and spoke a prayer of thanksgiving. He broke the bread, gave it to them, and said, “This is my body, which is given up for you. Do this to remember me.”

Commentaries on Luke 22:17

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 17He took the cup - This was not the sacramental cup, for that was taken after supper, Luke 22:20, but was the cup which was ordinarily taken before supper. Divide it among yourselves - Pass the cup from one to another; thus the cup which Christ gave to the first person on his right hand continued to be handed from one to another, till it came to the last person on his left.Read the comment

This was one of the cups which were usually taken during the celebration of the Passover, and pertained to that observance. “After” he had kept this in the usual manner, he instituted the supper which bears his name, using the bread and wine which had been prepared for the Passover, and thus ingrafted the Lord‘s Supper on the Passover…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 7-18Verses 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.

He desired it, though he knew his sufferings would follow, because it was in order to his Father's…Read the comment
