Should We Give the Crucified Jesus Wine or Should We Not?

Wine vinegar doesn't sound like the thing that would really you know scratch my itch if I were being crucified but they clearly meant it well because of the way people respond verse 49. Matthew wants to dispel some rumors and clarify some things that have been floating around about what Jesus actually said right there. If he was invoking or summoning Elijah and then Elijah didn't show up it looks pretty bad for Jesus if he was trying to summon Elijah and then it didn't work. Maybe both are true is that he's just trying to demonstrate that nobody got it nobody standing there understood it.
