This. I don’t believe in any religion and I don’t think that Christ was indeed divine, however the idea of portraying him as both man and god, both flesh, blood and eternity, both body fluids, entrails and incorporeal spirit, both weaknesses, doubts and otherwordly comprehension and empathy: that was a brilliant and beautiful concept. What could be more touching than Divinity itself asking for some water to kill his human and carnal thirst? The spark and beloved embryo of the entirety of the Cosmos sweetly and gently soliciting some drops of water. That was well done, very well done.

Just in case anyone hasn't read it, they gave him shitty wine from a sponge attached to a plant stalk.

But I don't think that the drink itself is important... the drink itself wasn't really the point of that...

I wonder if it was the wine that he refused to drink earlier too, what other wine would they have on them? It was probably another one though...

Would Greek even be able to express the difference between "I am thirsty" and "I thirst"?

It's like Spanish, or Latin languages, where verbs are conjugated. It was really "I thirst,"
>λέγει διψῶ (Legei Dipsoe)
>"He said I thirst"
but some translations say "I am thirsty."

>εἰμί
Eimi
"E-me"
This is ancient Greek by the way, which is an entirely different language than modern Greek.

It means to be or exist.

Also, I should mention they don't use this as often, they like to conjugate things a lot in ancient Greek instead of adding words or arranging words, they conjugate words usually.
