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:
Did this man have good intentions, because the Romans used vinegar as a healing liquid? Mark 15:36 And one man ran, and, filling a sponge with vinegar (a mixture of sour wine and water), put it on a staff made of a [bamboo-like] reed and gave it to Him to drink, saying, Hold off! Let us see whether Elijah [does] come to take Him down. [Ps. 69:21.] |
Bible Answer: Hi Edd, The Bible doesn't clarify what this man's intentions were, so we can only guess. Many have thought the same as you do, that Jesus was offered this for medicinal purposes. Maybe he Was trying to keep Jesus alive long enough for Elijah to come and rescue Him! It's good, in my opinion, to think that he may have done this with kind intent, for "Love hopes all things". Love in Christ, Mark |
