Exegesis
Within that clause, the combination ou me {οὐ μὴ | ou mḕ} preceding phago {φάγω | phágō} creates an emphatic negation, indicating a very strong denial (“I certainly will not eat”). The verb phago is aorist subjunctive, coordinated with the negation to depict a future contingency that is ruled out until a stated condition is met.
In context — Luke 22:16
For I say to you that I will certainly not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God .
