But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.
Christ placed His death before their eyes in the Supper as in a mirror, then immediately added consolation: He was hastening to death not to abandon them, but to pass through it to blessed immortality and have them associated with Him in the same life. By this He led His disciples by the hand to the cross, and thence raised them to hope of resurrection.

And when they had sung an hymn,.... The "Hallell", which the Jews were obliged to sing on the night of the passover; for the passover, they say (l), was , "bound to an hymn". This "Hallell", or song of praise, consisted of six Psalms, the 113th, 114th, 115th, 116th, 117th, and 118th (m): now this they did not sing all at once, but in parts.
All the types and shadows end here; the designs they pointed to are about to be accomplished in His death. This is the last passover He will keep with them. Hereafter in His Father's kingdom established in heaven, they will partake together not of literal wine but of the thing it represents: joy and the honours and happiness of the heavenly world.
