16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God."
16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
16 For I tell you I will not eat it
16 It's the last one I'll eat until we all eat it together in the kingdom of God."
16 for I say to you, I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
16 For I tell you now that I won't eat this meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the Kingdom of God."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 22:16
Commentary on Luke 22:7-18
(Read Luke 22:7-18)
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. Those who go upon Christ's word, need not fear disappointment. According to the orders given them, the disciples got all ready for the passover. Jesus bids this passover welcome. He desired it, though he knew his sufferings would follow, because it was in order to his Father's glory and man's redemption. He takes his leave of all passovers, signifying thereby his doing away all the ordinances of the ceremonial law, of which the passover was one of the earliest and chief. That type was laid aside, because now in the kingdom of God the substance was come.
