For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Commentary for Matthew 26:29
Matthew 26:29 captures a poignant moment during the Last Supper, which is a significant event in Christian theology. In this verse, Jesus is speaking to his disciples, referencing the cup of wine that is part of the Passover meal they are sharing. The cup represents the fruit of the vine, a symbol of the covenant between God and His people, and in this context, it also prefigures the blood that Jesus will soon shed on the cross.
The historical context of this verse is rooted in the Jewish Passover celebration, which commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt. During the Passover meal, it was customary to drink four cups of wine, each with its own significance. Jesus, by stating that he will not partake of the fruit of the vine until the coming of his Father's kingdom, is alluding to the upcoming sacrifice he is about to make and the establishment of a new covenant through his death and resurrection.
The themes present in this verse include the ideas of covenant, sacrifice, and eschatological hope. Jesus is foretelling his imminent departure from this world and his disciples, yet he also offers a promise of future reunion. This promise looks forward to the messianic banquet in the Kingdom of God, where Jesus will again partake of the fruit of the vine with his followers, symbolizing the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan and the joyous fellowship that will be restored in the eternal kingdom. The verse thus encapsulates the tension between the impending suffering and the hope of future glory, which is central to the Christian narrative.
