Abstract
Among the words on the kingdom of attributed to Jesus in Mark and Q, the saying Truly I tell you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God in Mark 14:25 has drawn the attention of many. It is one of the few sayings that speak about Jesus' presence at the future manifestation of God's sovereign rule in his creation, and that, at the same time, hints at his death. This chapter takes a closer look at this saying and determines its contribution to the knowledge of the earliest Christian eschatology and Christology, and, if possible, also of Jesus' own expectations concerning his participation in the joy of the future kingdom of God. It concentrates on Mark 14:25 as such, with the parallels in Matt 26:29 and Luke 22:18. Keywords: Christian eschatology; Jesus' words; Kingdom of God; Mark 14:25
