Exegesis

The prepositional phrase ek tou genematos tes ampelou {ἐκ τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου | ek toû ge-nḗ-ma-tos tês am-pé-lou} is a genitive chain, literally “from the fruit of the vine,” a traditional Jewish idiom for wine; this was preserved as a phrase in the formal rendering and made explicit as “wine” in the dynamic rendering.

The final prepositional phrase en te basileia tou theou {ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ | en tê ba-si-leí-ā toû the-oû} locates this renewed drinking “in the kingdom of God,” a dative of sphere indicating the eschatological realm of God’s rule. In English, the subjunctive constructions are rendered with future indicatives (“I will… drink”) to convey clear temporal reference, while the emphatic Greek negation is reflected by strengthening the verbal phrase (“will certainly no longer” / “will not… again”) without adding unwarranted detail.
