Someone ran and filled a sponge with wine vinegar. He lifted it up on a long stick and offered it to Jesus to drink. Then he said, “Now let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down.”
They offered him wine mixed with spices, but he wouldn’t drink it.
The soldiers also came up and made fun of him. They offered him wine vinegar
Right away one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, lifted it up on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink.
Some of the people who were standing nearby heard Jesus cry out, and they said, “Listen! He’s calling for Elijah.”
With a loud cry, Jesus took his last breath.
