This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A cup (potērion). 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 genēmatos tēs ampelou). See notes on Mat 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 Luk 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.
