SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:30
Y habiendo cantado un himno, salieron al monte de las Olivas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:30
Verse 30. And when they had sung a hymn] umnhsantev means, probably, no more than a kind of recitative reading or chanting. As to the hymn itself, we know, from the universal consent of Jewish antiquity, that it was composed of Psalms 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, and 118, termed by the Jews llh halel, from hy-wllh halelu-yah, the first word in Psalm 113. These six Psalms were always sung at every paschal solemnity. They sung this great hillel on account of the five great benefits referred to in it; viz. 1. The Exodus from Egypt, Psa. cxiv. 1. When Israel went out of Egypt, &c.
2. The miraculous division of the Red Sea, Psa. cxiv. 3. The sea saw it and fled.
3. The promulgation of the law, Psa. cxiv. 4. The mountains skipped like lambs.
4. The resurrection of the dead, Psa. cxvi. 9. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
5. The passion of the Messiah, Psa. cxv. 1. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, &c. See Schoettgen, Hor. Hebr. p. 231, and my Discource on the nature and design of the Eucharist, 8vo. Lond. 1808.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 26-30 - This ordinance of the Lord's supper is to us the passover supper, by which we commemorate a much greater deliverance than that of Israel ou of Egypt. Take, eat; accept of Christ as he is offered to you; receiv the atonement, approve of it, submit to his grace and his government Meat looked upon, be the dish ever so well garnished, will not nourish it must be fed upon: so must the doctrine of Christ. This is my body that is, spiritually, it signifies and represents his body. We partak of the sun, not by having the sun put into our hands, but the beams of it darted down upon us; so we partake of Christ by partaking of his grace, and the blessed fruits of the breaking of his body. The blood of Christ is signified and represented by the wine. He gave thanks, to teach us to look to God in every part of the ordinance. This cup he gave to the disciples with a command, Drink ye all of it. The pardon of sin is that great blessing which is, in the Lord's supper, conferred of all true believers; it is the foundation of all other blessings. He takes leave of such communion; and assures them of a happy meetin again at last; "Until that day when I drink it new with you\rdblquote may be understood of the joys and glories of the future state, whic the saints shall partake with the Lord Jesus. That will be the kingdo of his Father; the wine of consolation will there be always new. Whil we look at the outward signs of Christ's body broken and his blood she for the remission of our sins, let us recollect that the feast cost his as much as though he had literally given his flesh to be eaten and his blood for us to drink.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
30. Sung a hymn. Very probably the second part of the Jewish Hallel or Hallelujah, embracing Psalms 115, 116, 117, 118.They went out. In the original institution of the Passover it was enjoined that no one should go out of his house until morning (Exod. xii. 22). Evidently this had ceased to be regarded as obligatory.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
26:30 {Sang a hymn} (humnesantes). The _Hallel_, part of #Ps 115-118. But apparently they did not go out at once to the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus tarried with them in the Upper Room for the wonderful discourse and prayer in #Joh 14-17. They may have gone out to the street after #Joh 14:31. It was no longer considered obligatory to remain in the house after the passover meal till morning as at the start (#Ex 12:22). Jesus went out to Gethsemane, the garden of the agony, outside of Jerusalem, toward the Mount of Olives.
