At the Last Supper, Jesus said in Matthew 26:
At Golgotha, initially, Mark 15:
Later, John 19:
ὄξους (oxous)
Strong's 3690: Vinegar, sour wine mixed with water, a common drink of Roman soldiers. From oxus; vinegar, i.e. Sour wine.
H3690 occurs 6 times.
The Roman soldiers on site drank this sour wine to quench their thirst. Jesus drank this G3690-wine. This was not the celebratory type of wine.
Back then, people often drank low-grade wine instead of water for thirst because the alcoholic content kept bacteria from multiplying in plain water. It was safer to drink sour wine than water. At the Last Supper, Jesus promised not to drink the celebratory wine (G3613) until the kingdom of God materialized. He did not promise not to drink the usual wine of thirst. Jesus did not promise not to drink any liquid (G3690) for the rest of his life on earth.
This particular wine was probably the celebratory wine (G3631 οἶνος John 2:3). G3631 appears 34 times.29 "I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom".
At Golgotha, initially, Mark 15:
Jesus did not drink this G3631-wine as promised.23 they offered him wine [G3631] mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.
Later, John 19:
vinegar/sour wine28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.” 29A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
