|The construction here uses the aorist to indicate this current and specific moment in time, where it normal indicates a moment in the past. Strictly speaking, this construction does not indicate the future, but is treating the events that are about to unfold the rest of this day as happening right now, in the present, not in the future. Compare that with the next verse which specifically contrasts the aorist with the future tense.

Remember, the Jews mark a day from evening to evening, meaning that the day was just starting as Jesus and His disciples ate the Passover meal just after dusk. It also means that the events of the rest of the night, as well as those of the morning and afternoon to come, are actually all part of the same day. When Jesus ate this meal, went out to pray, is arrested, crucified, dies and is buried, it will all be part of the same day, the day of the Passover meal. The day that started with Jesus eating a Passover meal with His disciples will not end until the sun sets shortly after He is placed in a tomb.
