What was gall given to Jesus Christ on the cross?

Answer 1

to begin word USE can CHANGE over time and also have different meaning in a particular "CULTURE" or group and change in TRANSLATION and even be an error GALL can be a substance such as a plant or a poisonous substance or an elixir or a description such as eluding to the sense of taste " BITTERNESS " example the word used in JOB is MERERAH which is derived from the word for "BITTER" and similar to translated "MYRRH"

MERERAH is used two ways in 15:13b it is the bodily fluid of GALL as in GALLBLADDER ( BILE ) a similar use in JOB 20:25 while in the same chapter verse 14 is a reference to a venom of a poisonous snake Is i POSSIBLE that some drink was given to endue conditions that would cause temporary unconsciousness to simulate DEATH ..... lets examine the attendees what would be that evidence or argument a very specific person is in attendance the person PROVIDING the TOMB and the person taking procession of the body a PHYSICIAN JOSEPH of ARIMATHEA Matthew describes him as a RICH man MARK says a respected member of the council and LUKE he had not consented to their decision and action according to JOHN he purchased a shroud and requested permission for procession of the body and that Joseph and NICODEMUS took the body with SPICES and LINEN renaeus ( 125-189CE ) Hippolytus( 170-236 CE) Tertullian (155-222CE) Eusebius (260-340CE ) ADDED details NOT found in the canonical accounts consider knowing a person who is possibly told from birth he is SPECIAL " or a god or supernatural and BELIEVED he was immortal a possible delusion and you want to save his life you might find a way to give him a elixir to cause unconsciousness to simulate death ....know how long it takes for it to wear off and a safe place to recover and whats left a EMPTY TOMB also add an elixir for the guards they are not going to reject free wine for a long night shift to have added a substance to induce sleep a knock out the GOSPEL of NICODEMUS an appended to the acts of pilate states Jewish elders were angry at Joseph for Jesus being burred there and supposedly IMPRISONED him and posted a guard and that Joseph claimed a jesus would deliver him and when they returned joseph was gone that the elders had a change of thought and apologized and embraced joe wanting to know more about such beliefs .... we are not dealing with gods or sons of gods or spirits we are dealing with PEOPLE who have a BELIEF in gods and spirits

Answer 2

In Mark 15:23, they gave him wine mixed with myrrh, a valuable healing drug. The author of Matthew realised that this was implausible so, while copying Mark as faithfully as possible, changed the drink to vinegar mixed with gall (Matthew 27:34).

Answer 3

The "gall" given to Jesus on the cross (which Mark calls "myrrh" and Luke and John do not mention) was a bitter substance used as an anesthetic; a first-century "painkiller."

Answer 4

Gall is a bitter substance. The gall given to Jesus on the cross was probably Myrrh.
