The soldiers This phrase refers to the Roman soldiers who were tasked with carrying out the crucifixion. In the Roman Empire, soldiers were often used to maintain order and enforce the law, including executing criminals. These soldiers were likely hardened men, accustomed to violence and death, which may have contributed to their callous behavior towards Jesus. Their actions fulfill the prophecy of Psalm 22:16, "For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me." also mocked Him and came up to offer Him sour wine (1) Matthew 27:34. This was evidently a draught prepared with narcotics and stupefying drugs, no doubt by some of those compassionate women addressed by him on his way to the cross as "daughters of Jerusalem," a common work of mercy at that time, and one apparently permitted by the guards. This, St. Matthew tells us, "he tasted of," no doubt in courteous recognition of the kindly purpose of the act, but he refused to do more than taste of it. He would not dull the sense of pain, or cloud the clearness of his communion with his Father in that last awful hour. (2) The second, mentioned here by St. Luke, seems to imply that the soldiers mocked his agony of thirst - one of the tortures induced by crucifixion - by lifting up to his parched, fevered lips, vessels containing their sour wine, and then snatching them hastily away. (3) The third (John 19:28-30) relates that here the Lord, utterly exhausted, asked for and received this last refreshment, which revived, for a very brief space, his fast failing powers, and gave him strength for his last utterances. The soldiers, perhaps acting under the orders of the compassionate centurion in command, perhaps touched with awe by the brave patience and strange dignity of the dying Lord, did him this last kindly office.
