rwp - Mark:15:23

rwp@Mark:15:23 @{They offered him} (\edidoun auti\). Imperfect tense where Matthew has the aorist \edkan\. {Mingled with myrrh} (\esmurnismenon\). Perfect passive participle. The verb means flavoured with myrrh, myrrhed wine. It is not inconsistent with ¯Matthew:27:34| "mingled with gall," which see. {But he received it not} (\hos de ouk elaben\). Note the demonstrative \hos\ with \de\. Matthew has it that Jesus was not willing to take. Mark's statement is that he refused it.
