SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:23
Y tomando el vaso, habiendo hecho gracias, les dio; y bebieron de l todos.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks , etc..] Over it, and for it, by blessing it, and appropriating it to the present use and service: he gave it to them ; his disciples, and they all drank of it ; Judas, as well as the rest, as he bid them do; (see Gill on Matthew 26:27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-31 - The Lord's supper is food for the soul, therefore a very little of tha which is for the body, as much as will serve for a sign, is enough. It was instituted by the example and the practice of our Master, to remai in force till his second coming. It was instituted with blessing an giving of thanks, to be a memorial of Christ's death. Frequent mentio is made of his precious blood, as the price of our redemption. Ho comfortable is this to poor repenting sinners, that the blood of Chris is shed for many! If for many, why not for me? It was a sign of the conveyance of the benefits purchased for us by his death. Apply the doctrine of Christ crucified to yourselves; let it be meat and drink to your souls, strengthening and refreshing your spiritual life. It was to be an earnest and foretaste of the happiness of heaven, and thereby to put us out of taste for the pleasures and delights of sense. Every on that has tasted spiritual delights, straightway desires eternal ones Though the great Shepherd passed through his sufferings without on false step, yet his followers often have been scattered by the smal measure of sufferings allotted to them. How very apt we are to thin well of ourselves, and to trust our own hearts! It was ill done of Peter thus to answer his Master, and not with fear and trembling. Lord give me grace to keep me from denying thee.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
23. The cup. The wine was the ordinary one of the country, only red. It was mixed with water, generally in the proportion of one part to two of water.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:23 {A cup} (poterion). Probably the ordinary wine of the country mixed with two-thirds water, though the word for wine (oinos) is not used here in the Gospels, but "the fruit of the vine" (ek tou genematos tes ampelou). See #Mt 26:26-29 for discussion of important details. Mark and Matthew give substantially the same account of the institution of the Supper by Jesus, while #Lu 22:17-20 agrees closely with #1Co 11:23-26 where Paul claims to have obtained his account by direct revelation from the Lord Jesus.
