This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

29. ὅταν αὐτὸ πίνω κ.τ.λ. The reference is to the feast, which is a symbol of the glorified life, cp. Luk 22:30. The new wine signifies the new higher existence (ch. Mat 9:17), which Christ would share with his Saints. The expression may also symbolize the Christian as distinguished from the Jewish dispensation, and be referred specially to the celebration of the Eucharist, in which Christ joins with the faithful in the feast of the Kingdom of God on earth.
