Winer's Grammar, 198 (187) n.), Matthew 6:25 (G T omit; WH brackets the clause), Topical Lexicon Literal Consumption of Water and WineFrom the first-century Galilean well in John 4:7 to the rain-soaked fields of Hebrews 6:7, Strong’s 4095 depicts the ordinary act of drinking. The verb appears when soldiers offer sour wine to the crucified Christ (Matthew 27:34), when Jairus’s resurrected daughter is given something to drink (Mark 5:43, Textus Receptus), and when Paul fasts three days after meeting the risen Lord (Acts 9:9). In a land where wells, cisterns, and vineyards determined survival, references to drinking remind readers of the Creator’s daily provision. Hospitality and Daily Life Middle-Eastern hospitality required water or wine for guests (John 2:3; Luke 7:44-45). Jesus’ parable of the servant (Luke 17:8) assumes that the master’s first expectation at day’s end is “serve me until I have eaten and drunk.” The itinerant disciples were permitted to “eat and drink whatever they are given” (Luke 10:7), affirming dependence on God through the generosity of His people. Themes of Joy and Celebration At Cana the transformation of water into wine inaugurates messianic joy (John 2:1-11). “The Son of Man came eating and drinking” (Matthew 11:19), a contrast to John the Baptist’s abstinence (Luke 1:15). Wedding banquets (Matthew 22:1-14) and kingdom feasts (Luke 22:30) employ 4095 to picture exuberant fellowship anticipated in the covenant community. Warnings Against Excess Scripture never condemns drinking per se yet clearly warns against drunkenness. The generation of Noah “were eating and drinking” until judgment came (Matthew 24:38). Jesus’ parable of the unfaithful steward cautions against “eating and drinking and getting drunk” with fellow servants (Matthew 24:49; Luke 12:45). Paul instructs believers not to destroy a brother’s conscience by what they “eat or drink” (Romans 14:21) and to do all “whether you eat or drink” for God’s glory (1 Corinthians 10:31). The Cup of Salvation and Suffering Jesus links 4095 to His redemptive mission. He asks James and John, “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” (Matthew 20:22). Gethsemane echoes the same verb: “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done” (Matthew 26:42). The cup signifies substitutionary suffering that secures salvation, then becomes the pattern for discipleship: “You will drink the cup I drink” (Mark 10:39). Spiritual Drinking: Living Water and the Holy Spirit Jesus elevates the act from physical to spiritual at Jacob’s well: “Whoever drinks of the water I will give him will never thirst” (John 4:14). During the Feast of Tabernacles He cries, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink” (John 7:37). Paul interprets Israel’s wilderness experience through the same lens: “They all drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:4). Believers continually appropriate the life of the Spirit by faith, pictured through the ongoing present participle “the one who is drinking” (John 6:54-56). Corporate Worship: The Lord’s Table Fourteen occurrences cluster in 1 Corinthians 10–11, where 4095 governs apostolic teaching on Communion. The command “Drink it, all of you” (Matthew 26:27) is echoed: “Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26). Right participation requires self-examination; unworthy eating and drinking incurs discipline (1 Corinthians 11:27-29). Judgment: Drinking the Cup of Wrath Revelation intensifies Old Testament imagery of wrath. Babylon’s merchants “have drunk the wine of her sexual immorality and wrath” (Revelation 18:3). The worshipper of the beast “also will drink the wine of God’s fury, poured full strength into the cup of His wrath” (Revelation 14:10). The same verb that denotes salvation’s cup thus portrays righteous judgment, underscoring the urgency of repentance. Pastoral and Missional Implications 1. Dependence: Just as the body cannot live without drinking, the soul cannot live without Christ. Occurrences Summary Seventy-three New Testament uses range from narrative (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts) to epistle (Romans, 1 Corinthians, Hebrews) and apocalypse (Revelation). Key clusters: Strong’s 4095 therefore spans everyday life, covenant celebration, spiritual nourishment, and eternal destiny, revealing the comprehensive reach of God’s redemptive plan from common cup to consummated kingdom.
