gall: The Greek word kho·leʹ here refers to a bitter liquid made from plants or a bitter substance in general. Matthew records that this event was a fulfillment of the prophecy at Ps 69:21, where the Septuagint uses this Greek word to render the Hebrew word for “poison.” Apparently, women of Jerusalem had prepared the mixture of wine and gall to dull the pain of those being executed, and the Romans did not object to its use. The parallel account at Mr 15:23 says that the wine was “drugged with myrrh,” so the drink evidently contained both myrrh and bitter gall.
he refused to drink it: Jesus evidently wanted to have full possession of all his faculties during this test of his faith.
