“And sitting down they watched him there;”
King James Version (KJV)
27:34 They gave him vinegar mingled with gall - Out of derision: which, however nauseous, he received and tasted of. St. Mark mentions also a different mixture which was given him, Wine mingled with myrrh: such as it was customary to give to dying criminals, to make them less sensible of their sufferings: but this our Lord refused to taste, determining to bear the full force of his pains.
27:35 They parted his garments - This was the custom of the Romans. The soldiers performed the office of executioners, and divided among them the spoils of the criminals. My vesture - That is, my inner garment. #Psalm 22:18|.
27:38 #Mark 15:27|; Luke 23:32.
Mt 27:36 And sitting down they watched him there. It was their duty to remain by the cross until the execution was ended by death.
