Contextual Overview
33 And they came to a place which is called Golgotha, which is interpreted The Skull. 34 And they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall; and he tasted it, but he would not drink. 35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes by casting lots. 36 And they were sitting there and watching him. 37 And they placed above his head in writing the reason for his death: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 And there were crucified with him two bandits, one on his right and one on his left. 39 And those who passed by blasphemed against him, nodding their heads, 40 And saying, O you who can tear down the temple and build it in three days, deliver yourself, if you are the Son of God, and come down from the cross. 41 The high priests likewise were mocking, together with the scribes, the elders and the Pharisees. 42 And they were saying, He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe in him.

and filled: Matthew 27:34, Psalms 69:21, Luke 23:36, John 19:29, John 19:30
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge,.... Which was not far from the cross, where a vessel full of vinegar was set, John 19:29,
and filled it with vinegar; dipping it into it, it sucked it up. Some of these sponges had leathern handles to them. r
And put it on a reed; a stalk of hyssop; John 19:29- :,
and gave him to drink; not to revive his spirits, or hasten his death, as some have thought, but in contempt of him, and to mock him, he having signified that he was athirst.
r Misn. Sabbat, c. 21. sect. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
One of them ran - John John 19:28 says that this was in consequence of Jesus’ saying “I thirst.” One of the effects of crucifixion was excessive thirst.
Took a sponge - A sponge is a well-known porous substance that easily absorbs water. It was used in this case because, Jesus being elevated, it was difficult to convey a cup to his lips.
Filled it with vinegar - This was the common drink of Roman soldiers. It was a light wine, turned sour and mixed with water. John says John 19:29 there was a vessel set full of vinegar, probably for the use of the soldiers who watched his crucifixion.
And put it on a reed - John says it was put upon “hyssop.” The “hyssop” was a “shrub,” growing so large sometimes as to be called a “tree,” 1 Kings 4:33. The stalk of this was what Matthew calls a “reed.” The sponge fastened to this could easily be extended to reach the mouth of “Jesus.” This vinegar Jesus drank, for it was not intended to “stupefy” him or blunt his sense of pain, like the “wine” and myrrh.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 48. Took a sponge — This being the most convenient way to reach a liquid to his mouth; tied it on a reed, that they might be able to reach his lips with it. This reed, as we learn from St. John, was a stalk of hyssop, which, in that country, must have grown to a considerable magnitude. This appears also to have been done in mercy, to alleviate his sufferings. See Matthew 27:34.
