'Soldiers' in the Bible

Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, and put it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment.

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Then they said to one another, "Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, "They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him;

However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.
