People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 27:34
They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall. A stupefying
drink, intended to lessen suffering.
He would not drink. The "tasting" implied a recognition of the
kindly purpose of the act, but a recognition only. In the refusal to do
more than taste, we trace the resolute purpose to drink the cup which
his Father had given him to the last drop.
