LUKE 22:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.”
For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes — the Nazarite-like abstinence from the cup until the kingdom comes: the anticipation of the messianic banquet when the abstinence will be ended. The fruit of the vine communicates the Passover wine; the kingdom of God comes is the eschatological completion.
