Mark 15:36

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 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 ;

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 .
