SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:36
Entonces todos teniendo ya mejor nimo, comieron ellos tambin.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. Then were they all of good cheer , etc.] Encouraged by the apostles words and example: and they all took some meat ; and made a comfortable meal, which they had not done for fourteen days past.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-38 - God, who appointed the end, that they should be saved, appointed the means, that they should be saved by the help of these shipmen. Duty is ours, events are God's; we do not trust God, but tempt him, when we saw we put ourselves under his protection, if we do not use proper means such as are within our power, for our safety. But how selfish are me in general, often even ready to seek their own safety by the destruction of others! Happy those who have such a one as Paul in their company, who not only had intercourse with Heaven, but was of a enlivening spirit to those about him. The sorrow of the world work death, while joy in God is life and peace in the greatest distresse and dangers. The comfort of God's promises can only be ours by believing dependence on him, to fulfil his word to us; and the salvation he reveals must be waited for in use of the means he appoints. If God has chosen us to salvation, he has also appointed tha we shall obtain it by repentance, faith, prayer, and perseverin obedience; it is fatal presumption to expect it in any other way. It is an encouragement to people to commit themselves to Christ as their Saviour, when those who invite them, clearly show that they do s themselves.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
27:36 {qen were they all of good cheer} (euqumoi de genomenoi). More exactly, "qen all becoming cheerful," because of Paul's words and conduct. {Took food} (proselabonto trofes). Partitive genitive here (some food), not accusative as verse #33. Paul's courage was contagious.
