Thematic Bible: The garments of jesus divided by


Thematic Bible




And he was nailed to the cross; and they made a division of his clothing among them, putting to the decision of chance what everyone was to take.

They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.

And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth. So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.
