Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching

St Irenaeus of Lyons, tr. Robinson, 1920

Chapter 82

And at His crucifixion, when He asked a1 drink, they gave Him to drink vinegar mingled with gall. And this was declared through David: They gave gall to my meat, and in my thirst they2 gave me vinegar to drink.3

Notes

  1. Cf. Matt. xxvii. 34. Joh. xix. 29.
  2. Ps. lxix. 21.
  3. The Arm. probably represents ᾿Εν δὲ τῷ σταυρωθῆναι αὐτόν. The ὄξος μετὰ χολῆς μεμιγμένον in Matt. xxvii. 34 (ὄξος A etc.; οἶνον ℵBD etc.) was before crucifixion, when “He would not drink.” “When He asked a drink” on the cross (Joh. xix. 29), they gave Him ὄξος: but some MSS. add μετὰ χολῆς. Cf. Barn. VII, 3, 5; Ev. Petr. 5.
