Contextual Overview
33 when they were come to a place called Golgotha, a word which signifies a skull, 34 they gave him a mixture of wine and gall: but when he had tasted it, he refused to drink. 35 after they had crucified him, they shared his clothes among them by casting losts: 36 and they took their post to watch him there. 37 and they set an Inscription over his head, denoting the reason of his execution, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38 At the same time, two robbers were crucified with him: one on his right hand, the other on his left. 39 the passengers all the while reviling him, shook their heads at him, 40 and cry'd, you that could destroy the temple, and rebuild it in three days, now save thy self: if thou art the son of God, come down from the cross. 41 the chief priests, with the scribes and senators, derided him in like manner. 42 he saved others, said they, but cannot save himself: if he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

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.
