    John says Jesus spoke of thirst to fulfill the Scripture and was given sour wine; Psalm 69 speaks of gall for food and vinegar for thirst, and Matthew records wine mixed with gall.

    • Which Scripture John means: John does not name the psalm. Psalm 69:21 is the usual identification because of the vinegar; some readers hear Psalm 22:15 as well.
