John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:16

For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof ,.... Of the passover, and which now, with the rest of the ceremonial law, was to be abolished: until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God ; signifying, not that he should eat of it in the kingdom of God, where it would be fulfilled; seeing the passover was never more to take place, neither in the Gospel dispensation, nor in the heavenly glory; both which may be meant by the kingdom of God; but that he should never eat more of it in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:17

And he took the cup and gave thanks ,.... There were four cups of wine drank at the passover, which the poorest man in Israel was obliged to drink; and over each of which a blessing was pronounced F13 Maimon. Chametz Umetzah, c. 7. sect. 9,10. : and this was one of them, and seems to be the first; for the passover was begun by mixing a cup of wine, and blessing it, or giving thanks over it F14 Ib. c. 8. sect. 1. ; and which was usually done in the following manner F15 Haggada... read more

For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ,.... That is, wine; see the blessing at the passover cup in the notes on the preceding verse: until the kingdom of God shall come ; with power, as in Mark 9:1 in the resurrection of Christ from the dead; in his exaltation and session at God's right hand; in the pouring forth of the Spirit on the apostles; in the conversion of great multitudes, both in Judea, and in the Gentile world; in the destruction of the Jews; in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:19

And he took bread and gave thanks ,.... Or blessed it, as in Matthew 26:26 . Here begins the account of the Lord's supper after the passover was eaten; and brake it, and gave unto them ; the disciples, as is expressed in Matthew 26:26 saying, this is my body ; See Gill on Matthew 26:26 . which is given for you ; or will be given for you, as an offering for sin in your room and stead; and accordingly it was given into the hands of men, and of justice, and unto death.

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:20

Likewise also the cup after supper ,.... Both after the passover, and the Lord's supper; that is, he took the cup after they had eaten the bread, and gave thanks over it, and gave it to his disciples, bidding them drink of it, as in Matthew 26:27 , See Gill on Matthew 26:27 , saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you . The Ethiopic version reads, "for many"; as in Matthew 26:28 where it is added, "for the remission of sins"; See Gill on Matthew 26:28... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:15

With desire I have desired - A Hebraism for, I have desired most earnestly. Our Lord's meaning seems to be, that, having purposed to redeem a lost world by his blood, he ardently longed for the time in which he was to offer himself up. Such love did the holy Jesus bear to the human race. This eucharistic passover was celebrated once, by way of anticipation, before the bloody sacrifice of the victim of salvation, and before the deliverance it was appointed to commemorate; as the figurative... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:16

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:17

He 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 more
