Exegesis
The object of this desire is expressed by the infinitival clause touto to pascha phagein {τοῦτο τὸ πάσχα φαγεῖν | toûto tò páscha phageîn}, where touto to pascha is the accusative object of the infinitive phagein, creating the sense “to eat this Passover.”
In context — Luke 22:15
And He said to them, “With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.”
