Luke 22:16
14 When the hour had come, Jesus reclined at the table with His apostles.
15 And He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering.
For I tell you that I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
17 After taking the cup, He gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves.
18 For I tell you that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
