What does the Bible say about Jesus refusing vinegar mingled with gall?

In Matthew 27:33-34, Jesus was offered vinegar mingled with gall before His crucifixion, which was a sedative intended to numb pain. However, Jesus refused this drink to fully experience the suffering owed to His people. The refusal was not out of a desire to escape pain but rather to embrace the full depth of His sacrificial role. The account indicates the brutal reality of crucifixion, where they sought to prolong His agony, desiring Him to remain fully aware during His torture. Later, in John 19:28-30, after accomplishing His work, He accepted vinegar by proclaiming, 'I thirst,' which signaled the fulfillment of scripture and the completion of His atoning sacrifice.
