Augustine of Hippo, on Matt 27:31
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 27:31 · Douay-Rheims
“And after they had mocked him, they took off the cloak from him, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to crucify him.”
On this verse:
“(de Cons. Ev. iii. 11.) And they gave him to drink wine mingled with gall. Mark says, mingled with myrrh. Matthew put gall (Mark 15:23.) to express bitterness, but wine mingled with myrrh is very bitter; though indeed it might be, that gall together with myrrh would make the most bitter.”
