But in that they gave him Vinegar mingled with Gall, it was an argument of their cruelty and envy.3 Theophylact speaks plainly, that the Vinegar mingled with Gall was poisonous and deadly, and therefore when Christ had tasted it, he would not drink, choosing rather the death of the Cross, to which he was destinated by his Father, than any poisonous death.
