Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
They offered him (edidoun autw). Imperfect tense where Matthew has the aorist edwkan.
Mingled with myrrh (esmurnismenon). Perfect passive participle. The verb means flavoured with myrrh, myrrhed wine. It is not inconsistent with Matthew 27:34 "mingled with gall," which see.
But he received it not (ov de ouk elaben). Note the demonstrative ov with de. Matthew has it that Jesus was not willing to take. Mark's statement is that he refused it.
