Charles Ellicott Commentary John 19:24

"They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots." — John 19:24 (ASV)

That the scripture might be fulfilled.—Compare Note on Matthew 1:22.

They parted my raiment among them.—The quotation is from Psalms 22:18, closely following the Greek translation.
