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:
“(ubi sup.) And when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. That Mark says, But he received it not, we understand to mean that He would not receive it to drink thereof. For that He tasted it Matthew bears witness; so that Matthew’s, He could not drink thereof, means exactly the same as Mark’s, He received it not; only Mark does not mention His tasting it. That He tasted but would not drink of it, signifies that He tasted the bitterness of death for us, but rose again the third day.”
