SCRIPTURE

"And they crucify him, and part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take." — Mark 15:24 (ASV)

And when they had crucified him
Had fastened him to the cross, and reared it up, and he was hanging upon it:

they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man
should take .
This last clause, "what every man should take", is left out in the Arabic version. His garments they divided into four parts; and each soldier, as there were four of them, took a part; and upon his vesture, or seamless coat, because they would not rend it, they cast lots who should have it, and so fulfilled a prophecy in (Psalms 22:18) ; (See Gill on Matthew 27:35).
