The Crucifixion and the Callback to the Old Testament

Matthew has this deft touch with other callbacks as we've discussed over the last couple of days that leave a little bit of room for ambiguity. So what I wanted to do today was quickly buzz through some of those things who attentive readers of the past have connected in terms of a very thoughtful but very deft gentle callback to Old Testament stuff. It says there they offered Jesus wine to drink mixed with gall, but after tasting it, he refused to drink it Bible, turning Bible. Psalm 69, 21: They put gall in my food and gave me vinegar for my thirst.
