Matthew 27:48

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge,.... Which was not far from the cross, where a vessel full of vinegar was set, Joh 19:29,and filled it with vinegar; dipping it into it, it sucked it up.

Some of these sponges had leathern handles to them. And put it on a reed; a stalk of hyssop; See Gill on "Joh 19:29",and gave him to drink; not to revive his spirits, or hasten his death, as some have thought, but in contempt of him, and to mock him, he having signified that he was athirst.

Misn. Sabbat, c. 21. sect.
