They Parted His Raiment and Cast Lots

Previous Painting Next Painting
Tissot, They Parted His Raiment and Cast Lots Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
Mark 15:24

23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

24 "Let's not tear it," they said to one another. "Let's decide by lot who will get it."

This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled which said,

  "They divided my garments among them
  and cast lots for my clothing."

So this is what the soldiers did.
John 19:23-24
