For I tell you
This phrase underscores the authority and certainty with which Jesus speaks. In the Greek, "λέγω ὑμῖν" (legō hymin) is a common expression used by Jesus to emphasize the importance of His words. It is a solemn declaration, indicating that what follows is of significant importance. Jesus often used this phrase to introduce teachings or prophecies, highlighting His role as a divine teacher and prophet.

that I will not drink
The Greek verb "πίνω" (pinō) is used here, meaning "to drink." This statement is a vow of abstinence, reflecting a deep commitment to a future event. In the context of the Last Supper, it signifies a transition from the present age to the coming kingdom. Jesus' abstention from drinking symbolizes His anticipation of the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

of the fruit of the vine
This phrase refers to wine, a staple in Jewish culture and a symbol of joy and celebration. The "fruit of the vine" is a direct reference to the Passover meal, where wine is a key element. In the Jewish tradition, wine represents the blessings of God and the joy of salvation. Jesus' reference to it here connects the Last Supper to the future Messianic banquet, a time of ultimate joy and fulfillment.

from now on
The Greek phrase "ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν" (apo tou nyn) indicates a decisive point in time. It marks the beginning of a new era in salvation history. Jesus is signaling a shift from His earthly ministry to the anticipation of His return and the establishment of God's kingdom. This phrase emphasizes the immediacy and certainty of the coming change.

until the kingdom of God comes
The "kingdom of God" is a central theme in Jesus' teaching, representing God's sovereign rule and the fulfillment of His promises. The Greek word "βασιλεία" (basileia) denotes a realm or reign, emphasizing both the present and future aspects of God's kingdom. Jesus' statement points to the eschatological hope of His followers, the ultimate realization of God's reign on earth. This promise assures believers of the certainty of God's plan and the hope of eternal fellowship with Him.

(18) I will not drink of the fruit of the vine.--Better, of the product. (See Notes on Matthew 26:29; Mark 14:25.) Here the words precede, in the other Gospels they follow, the institution of the Lord's Supper. It is not probable that the same words were repeated both before and after. The position which it occupies here, as standing parallel to what had before been said of the Passover, seems on the whole in favour of St. Luke's arrangement. On the other hand, it is noticeable, whatever explanation may be given of it, that St. Matthew and St. Mark omit (in the best MSS.) the word "new" as connected with the "covenant," and emphasise it as connected with "the fruit of the vine," while he omits in the latter case, and emphasises it in the former. It is, perhaps, allowable to think of him as taught by St. Paul, and possibly by Apollos, to embrace more fully than they did, in all its importance, the idea of the New Covenant as set forth in Galatians 3, 4, and Hebrews 7-10.
