LUKE 22:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God — I will not eat it again until: the abstinence from the future Passover meals and the anticipation of the eschatological Passover in the kingdom. The Passover finds fulfillment in the kingdom — the Exodus liberation is completed in the final liberation.
Church Fathers on Luke 22:16
As soon as the disciples had prepared the Passover, they proceed to eat it; as it is said, And when the hour was come, &c.
By the hour of eating the Passover, He signifies the fourteenth day of the first month, far gone towards evening, the fifteenth moon just appearing on the earth.
But how is our Lord said to sit down, whereas the Jews eat the Passover standing? They say, that when they had eaten the legal Passover, they sat down according to the common custom, to eat their other food.
