Mark 14:23 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:23

And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks
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).

Mark 14:23 In-Context

21 The Son of man goes indeed as it is written concerning him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up; [it were] good for that man if he had not been born.
22 And as they were eating, Jesus, having taken bread, when he had blessed, broke [it], and gave [it] to them, and said, Take [this]: this is my body.
23 And having taken [the] cup, when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them, and they all drank out of it.
24 And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the [new] covenant, that shed for many.
25 Verily I say to you, I will no more drink at all of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
