Matthew 27

33 Upon arriving at a place called Golgotha, which means ‘place of a skull’, 34 they gave Him sour wine mixed with gall to drink;*This was a small humanitarian gesture—gall is a crude anesthetic, and would deaden the pain. But Jesus refused it, so He remained fully alert on the cross and felt it all. For a discussion of the seeming discrepancy with Mark, please see the Appendix: ‘Gall’, or ‘myrrh’? but having tasted it He would not drink. 35 Having crucified Him they divided up His clothes by casting lots.*If they divided up His clothes it means they were no longer on Him—one last bit of humiliation. Perhaps 95% of the Greek manuscripts do not have the rest of verse 35 as found in the KJV and NKJV, although it would make a nice addition.
