Mark 14:25

New Testament

22 While they were eating, he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it. This is my body.” 23 And after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. 24 He said to them, “This is my blood, the blood of the covenant, that is poured out for many. 25 I tell you the truth, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” 26 After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

2 Baruch 29:5

Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch
Pseudepigrapha

3 And it shall come to pass when all is accomplished that was to come to pass in those parts, that the Messiah shall then begin to be revealed. 4 And Behemoth shall be revealed from his place and Leviathan shall ascend from the sea, those two great monsters which I created on the fifth day of creation, and shall have kept until that time; and then they shall be for food for all that are left. 5 The earth also shall yield its fruit ten thousandfold and on each vine there shall be a thousand branches, and each branch shall produce a thousand clusters, and each cluster produce a thousand grapes, and each grape produce a cor of wine. 6 And those who have hungered shall rejoice: moreover, also, they shall behold marvels every day. 7 For winds shall go forth from before Me to bring every morning the fragrance of aromatic fruits, and at the close of the day clouds distilling the dew of health. 8 And it shall come to pass at that self-same time that the treasury of manna shall again descend from on high, and they will eat of it in those years, because these are they who have come to the consummation of time.

 Notes and References

"... "The final saying of Jesus over the cup echoes words used in the Passover liturgy, where God is blessed as the one who 'creates the fruit of the vine'. It also points forward to the time when Jesus will drink wine new in the Kingdom of God. The image is that of the messianic banquet, which symbolized the joy that was expected to accompany the new age (see e.g. Isaiah 25.6; 2 Baruch 29.5-8; Matthew 8.11; Luke 14.15; Revelation 19.9). Here is yet another tradition about the significance of the cup, and one that may well be the earliest of all." ..."
