SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:14–23: Jesus gave his disciples bread and wine with a special meaning

In this section Jesus ate his last meal with his twelve disciples before he died. During this Passover meal, Jesus told them about the new covenant that he was making with them. He took bread and gave thanks to God. Then he divided the bread into pieces and gave it to his disciples to share. He said to them, “This is my body, given for you.” After the main meal, he gave his disciples a cup of wine to drink from. He said, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.” When Jesus said these things, he indicated that he would sacrifice himself by dying as a substitute for his disciples to save them from slavery to sin. By doing this, he would fulfill the real meaning of Passover. As God saved the people of Israel who put the blood of the Passover lamb on their doors, he will save the people who trust in Jesus’ sacrifice for them.

Jesus told his disciples to continue to remember him by taking bread and wine as his body and blood given for them. This thanksgiving service is now called the Eucharist, from the Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” It is also called the Lord’s Supper and Holy Communion.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

The Lord’s Supper (NET)

Jesus established the Thanksgiving/Eucharist celebration

Jesus sacrifices his body and blood to save his disciples

Jesus makes a new covenant with his disciples

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:26–30, Mark 14:22–26, and 1 Corinthians 11:23–25.

22:16a

For I tell you that

for I tell you this:
I assure you that

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as For often introduces a reason or an explanation. In this verse Jesus explained more about his eagerness to eat that Passover meal with his apostles. This explanation begins in 22:16b. Jesus says that he will not eat the Passover meal again until its meaning is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.When Jesus instituted the Eucharist at this Passover, he showed his apostles that he was about to suffer for them, redeem them, and open the kingdom of God for them and other believers. Jesus was eager for this redemption to be accomplished. Lenski (p. 1040) says, “The last phrase ‘before I suffer” explains this strong desire….The nearer the hour of suffering and death came for Jesus the more he longed for it to come in order that the great work might be done and redemption be actually wrought.” Johnson (p. 337) says, “For Jesus’ ‘eagerness’ for everything to be accomplished, compare the saying in 12:50.”

Introduce his explanation in a natural way in your language. In some languages a conjunction may not be needed, as in several English versions.

I tell you: Jesus often used the phrase I tell you to introduce a statement that he wanted to emphasize. See the note on 17:34a for more information and translation suggestions.

you: The pronoun you is plural here. It refers to Jesus’ apostles.

22:16b

I will not eat it again

I will not eat a Passover meal again
I will not eat another “Death Passed Us By” meal

22:16c

until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

until its true meaning is fulfilled in God’s kingdom.”
before the time when God reigns/rules and makes all that it represents happen.”

22:16b–c

I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled: There are two ways to interpret the statement I will not eat it again until it is fulfilled:

It indicates that after Jesus ate that Passover meal with his disciples, he would not eat another Passover meal until its meaning was fulfilled. For example:
I will not eat another Passover meal until it is given its true meaning (NCV) (BSB, NCV, NIV, KJV, NASB, REB, GW, NLT, CEV, NET, JBP)
It indicates that Jesus would not eat another Passover meal, including the one that night with his disciples, until its meaning was fulfilled. Here is another way to translate this:
I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled (RSV) (RSV, NJB, GNT, ESV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).There is a textual issue concerning the word “again.” It is not included in some of the best Greek manuscripts. Metzger (1971, p. 173) gives the decision not to include it a C rating, indicating uncertainty about the decision. The Notes consider this issue more of a translation decision than a strictly textual matter. Along with most Bible scholars, it favors translating in a way that refers to future Passover meals, not this final one that he ate with his disciples. Scholars who follow interpretation (1) include Bock, Bratcher, Creed, Godet, Green, Fitzmyer, Hendriksen, Lenski, Marshall, Morris, Nolland, Plummer, Reiling and Swellengrebel, Stein, and Summers. The whole context, especially 22:15, strongly implies that Jesus did eat the Passover meal with his disciples. (See also 22:21.) Although the word again is not included in some Greek manuscripts, it is necessary in English to express the right meaning.

until it is fulfilled: The Greek phrase that the BSB literally translates as until it is fulfilled refers to the time when the meaning that the Passover meal symbolizes will be completely fulfilled.

The Passover symbolizes God redeeming his people. He redeemed the Jewish people when he saved them from death and slavery in Egypt at the time of the first Passover. God redeemed his people from eternal death and slavery to sin through Jesus’ death as a substitute for them. The Passover lamb symbolizes Jesus.

Some other ways to translate this phrase are:

until its meaning is fulfilled (NLT)

until it is given its full meaning (GNT)

until what it symbolizes is accomplished

The verb is fulfilled is passive. In some languages it may be necessary to translate it as active. If that is true in your language, you may supply “God” as the subject.Marshall (p. 796) says, “The passive is probably a circumlocution for an active verb with God as subject.” For example:

until God fulfills the purpose/meaning of the Passover meal

until God causes what the Passover meal represents to happen

in the kingdom of God: In this context the phrase in the kingdom of God refers to the time when God will reign over everyone as king. At that time Jesus will reign with God, and God will give his people the complete freedom that Passover symbolizes. Because Jesus atoned for his people’s sin by his death for them, God will free them completely from sin and death. At that time there will be a great feast, and God’s people will celebrate with Jesus forever.

Some ways to translate in the kingdom of God here are:

when God rules his people as king

when God becomes King in the worldUma back translation on TW.

in God’s glorious reign/chieftaincy

kingdom of God: The phrase kingdom of God refers to God’s activity of ruling and caring for his people as their king. It does not refer here to a land or country that he rules over. For more information and translation suggestions, see the note on kingdom of God at 17:20a–b. See also kingdom of God in the Glossary.

γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγω Γάρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὒ μή φάγω αὐτό ἕως ὅτου πληρωθῇ ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Jesus is giving the reason why he has been so eager to share this Passover meal with his disciples, as he said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could put this reason before the result by creating a verse bridge. You could combine [22:15](../22/15.md) and [22:16](../22/16.md), putting all of [22:16](../22/16.md) first, followed by all of [22:15](../22/15.md). This would require saying “this Passover meal” in [22:16](../22/16.md) and it in [22:15](../22/15.md). You could have no introductory word for [22:16](../22/16.md) and begin [22:15](../22/15.md) with “And so.”

λέγω & ὑμῖν

˱I˲_˓am˒_saying & ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus says this to emphasize the importance of what he is about to say. Alternate translation: [I can assure you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ μὴ φάγω αὐτὸ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγω Γάρ ὑμῖν ὅτι οὒ μή φάγω αὐτό ἕως ὅτου πληρωθῇ ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Since Jesus is just about to eat a Passover meal, he means implicitly that he will not eat such a meal again until the later time he describes. Alternate translation: [I will certainly not eat it again]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἕως ὅτου πληρωθῇ ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ

until ˱of˲_which ˱it˲_˓may_be˒_fulfilled in the Kingdom ¬the ˱of˲_God

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state who will do the action. See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter. This could mean: (1) “until people celebrate this feast in the kingdom of God.” (2) “until God gives this feast its full meaning when he establishes his kingdom.” (3) “until I die as the true Passover sacrifice and establish the kingdom of God.”

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
