In Context

23+ 15:23. MP: Messiah will thirst and be given vinegar / sour wine to drink. Vinegar is an acid and constricts the throat. Vinegar was used for digestive medicine or possibly to suffocate or lower the vocalizations of victims. If myrrh was added to the sour wine vinegar, the purpose is to act as a pain duller, easing the victim’s sense of pain. Myrrh then is used like morphine is today. (See also Ps 22:15b). (Ps 69:21b) They offered him wine mixed with myrrh to drink, but he didn’t take it.

25It was nine in the morning when they nailed him to the stake.
