SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:36
Y corri uno, y empapando una esponja en vinagre, y ponindola en una caa, le dio a beber, diciendo: Dejad, veamos si vendr Elías a quitarle.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar , etc..] 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 ( Psalm 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 27:27,49); 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).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 33-41 - There was a thick darkness over the land, from noon until three in the afternoon. The Jews were doing their utmost to extinguish the Sun of Righteousness. The darkness signified the cloud which the human soul of Christ was under, when he was making it an offering for sin. He did no complain that his disciples forsook him, but that his Father forsoo him. In this especially he was made sin for us. When Paul was to be offered as a sacrifice for the service saints, he could joy an rejoice, Php 2:17; but it is another thing to be offered as a sacrific for the sin of sinners. At the same instant that Jesus died, the vei of the temple was rent from the top to the bottom. This spake terror to the unbelieving Jews, and was a sign of the destruction of their churc and nation. It speaks comfort to all believing Christians, for i signified the laying open a new and living way into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. The confidence with which Christ had openly addresse God as his Father, and committed his soul into his hands, seems greatl to have affected the centurion. Right views of Christ crucified wil reconcile the believer to the thought of death; he longs to behold love, and praise, as he ought, that Saviour who was wounded and pierce to save him from the wrath to come.
