Mark 15:36
And one ran and filled a spunge 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.
And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar,.... Christ at the same time saying, I thirst; see John 19:28;
and put it on a reed; an hyssop stalk, John 19:29;
and gave him to drink; and so fulfilled a prophecy in Psalms 69:21;
saying, or "they said", as the Syriac version reads it; not he that fetched the sponge, but the others that were with him, and which agrees with Matthew 27:27;
Let alone; as forbidding him to go near him, and offer him any thing to drink:
let us see whether Elias will come and take him down; from the cross; See Gill on "Matthew 27:49".
