NASB | Mark 15:36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 15:36 Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah is coming to take Him down." [Ps 69:21; Matt 27:48, 50; Luke 23:36; John 19:29, 30] |
Bible Question:
In the Mark 15:23 - Jesus is given wine mixed with myrrh, but he doesn’t drink. Matthew 27:48, Luke 23:36 - Jesus is given vinegar, but he doesn’t drink. But in John 19:29-30 - Jesus is given vinegar and he drinks. I'm confused, are scriptures contradicting themeselves? |
Bible Answer: Mark 15:23 is referring to a different occurance than the other references you gave. There were two occasions where Jesus was offered drink; the first, mentioned in Mark 15:23 and Matthew 27:34 is where He is offered wine mixed with myrrh (or "gall") prior to being hung on the cross and He declines, though Matthew states He tasted it first. The second is after He has been crucified, He is offered a vinegar soaked sponge, mentioned in Matthew 27:48, Mark 15:36, Luke 23:36, and John 19:29-30. Neither Luke nor John mentions the first occurance in their writings. It's also interesting to note that John is the only one that tells of Jesus stating, "I thirst," and actually drinking the vinegar. The other three gospels only say that a vinegar soaked sponge was offered, but give no mention of Him saying He was thirsty, or even whether He drank. Just interesting to me to compare which events and statements were included or excluded in each gospel. -Magellan |
