³⁶ The soldiers also mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar,

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him a drink.

²¹ They also gave me gall for my food. In my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.

³⁶ One ran, and filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed, and gave it to him to drink, saying, "Let him be. Let's see whether Elijah comes to take him down."

²⁹ They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

³⁰ They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head.

³⁴ They gave him sour wine to drink mixed with gall. When he had tasted it, he would not drink.

¹⁹ They struck his head with a reed, and spat on him, and bowing their knees, did homage to him.

²⁰ When they had mocked him, they took the purple off of him, and put his own garments on him. They led him out to crucify him.

¹¹ Herod with his soldiers humiliated him and mocked him. Dressing him in luxurious clothing, they sent him back to Pilate.

²⁸ After this, Jesus, seeing{NU, TR read "knowing" instead of "seeing"} that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I am thirsty."

²⁹ Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

³⁰ When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished." He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
