Matthew Chapter 26, Verse 27
From BibleWiki
27: και λαβων το ποτηριον και ευχαριστησας εδωκεν αυτοις λεγων πιετε εξ αυτου παντες
27: And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,
saying, Drink ye all of it;
27: And taking the chalice, he gave thanks and gave to them, saying:
Drink ye all of this.
And he took the cup. That is, the cup of wine which they used at the feast of the passover, called the cup of Hallel, or praise, because they commenced then repeating the psalms with which they closed the passover. See Mt 26:30. This cup, Luke says, he took after supper. That is, after they had finished the ordinary celebration of eating the passover. The bread was taken while they were eating, the cup after they had done eating.
And gave thanks. See Barnes "Mt 26:26".
Drink ye all of it. That is, "all of you, disciples, drink of it ;" not, "drink all the wine."
