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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The rest said, let be,.... The others, to whom he belonged, that fetched the sponge, said to him, let him alone, keep at a distance from him, give him nothing to drink:

let us see whether Elias will come to save him; whom the Jews looked upon to be the forerunner of the Messiah, and therefore suggest, that should he come to save him, they would believe he was the Messiah; and they had a mighty notion of Elias appearing to persons frequently s, and talking, and conversing with them;

:-, though they did not believe he would come, and appear to Christ; for they were persons of great note for piety and learning, to whom he appeared, as they pretend, whereas they had no such opinion of him. The Ethiopic version here adds, and one took a spear and pierced his side with it, and blood and water flowed out: but this circumstance is only recorded by the Evangelist John,

John 19:34, though Beza says the same is read here in two ancient copies.

s Vid. Juchasin, fol. 79. 1. & 86. 1. & 101. 1. & 118. 2. & 132. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The rest said ... - Still deriding his sufferings, and refusing to allow even the poor consolation of a drink, to assuage the thirst of the Saviour of the world in his dying agonies.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 49. After this verse, BCL and five others add, Another, taking a spear, pierced his side, and there came out blood and water. Several of the fathers add the same words here: they appear, however, to be an interpolation from John 19:34.
