Mateo 27:48 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:48

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, ( John 19:29 ) ,

and filled it with vinegar;
dipping it into it, it sucked it up. Some of these sponges had leathern handles to them. ^F18

And put it on a reed; a stalk of hyssop; (See Gill on John 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.

Mateo 27:48 In-Context

46 Y alrededor de la hora novena, Jesús exclamó a gran voz, diciendo: ELI, ELI, ¿LEMA SABACTANI? Esto es: DIOS MIO, DIOS MIO, ¿POR QUE ME HAS ABANDONADO?

47 Algunos de los que estaban allí, al oírlo, decían: Este llama a Elías.

48 Y al instante, uno de ellos corrió, y tomando una esponja, la empapó en vinagre, y poniéndola en una caña, le dio a beber.

49 Pero los otros dijeron: Deja, veamos si Elías viene a salvarle .

50 Entonces Jesús, clamando otra vez a gran voz, exhaló el espíritu.
