MATTHEW 27:48 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.”
And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. The sour wine on the reed — the fulfillment of Psalm 69:21 (they gave me sour wine for my thirst) — is the final provision offered to the one who is dying. The sponge on the reed communicates the method: the wine is raised to the lips of the one on the cross.
