Mark 15:23
They offered him ( εδιδουν αυτω ). Imperfect tense where Matthew has the aorist εδωκαν.Mingled with myrrh ( εσμυρνισμενον ). Perfect passive participle. The verb means flavoured with myrrh, myrrhed wine. It is not inconsistent with Mt 27:34 "mingled with gall," which see.
But he received it not ( ος δε ουκ ελαβεν ). Note the demonstrative ος with δε. Matthew has it that Jesus was not willing to take. Mark's statement is that he refused it.
