Study note
Setting — Jesus speaks to his disciples during the Passover meal, positioned between the institution of the cup (Mark 14:24) and their departure for the Mount of Olives (Mark 14:26).
The words — ἀμὴν (amēn) = "Truly" or "Amen" establishes divine certainty, while οὐκέτι (ouketi) = "no longer" marks a definitive cutoff to a present practice.
The thread — The text records a parallel in Matthew 26:29 and draws on the abundance imagery of Psalm 104:15 and Joel 3:18 to frame a future banquet.
Why it lands — The verse demands recognition that present fellowship is suspended as a necessary interval before a future, kingdom-executed restoration.
