A Stunningly Precise Prophecy
Commentators are struck by the precise fulfillment of this verse in Jesus' crucifixion. As detailed in John 19:23-24, soldiers divided some of Jesus' garments but cast lots for his seamless tunic. Scholars like Albert Barnes argue that such a specific, uncontrollable event, written centuries earlier, provides powerful evidence that the psalm prophetically points to Christ.
