Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And one ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down." — Mark 15:36 (ASV)
And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
Jesus did receive this vinegar, and so fulfilled Psalm 69:21: In my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
