When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares, one for each soldier. There was also the tunic; it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
In context
21The chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews.’ Write that this man said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’” 22Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” 23When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four shares, one for each soldier. There was also the tunic; it was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24So they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it. Let’s cast lots for it, to see whose it will be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture that says, “They divided my clothes among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So that is what the soldiers did. 25Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.
