They cast lots for his clothing | Mark 15:24 | Dominic Steele | Daily Bible Time | 11 March 2021
The Roman legal texts confirm that the execution squad had the accepted right to claim the minor possessions of an executed man. The squad that crucified Jesus, would not have known that in their lot casting, they were fulfilling Psalm 22:18.
Mark 15:24 Then they crucified him and divided his clothes, casting lots for them to decide what each would get.
