Psalms 22:18

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

They part my garments among them,.... Such as died the death of the cross were crucified naked (h), and their clothes were the perquisites of the executioners; there were four soldiers concerned in the crucifixion of Christ, and these parted his garments into four parts, and everyone took his part;

and cast lots on my vesture; which was a seamless coat, wove from the top to the bottom; and therefore, not willing to rend it, they cast lots upon it who should have it; all this was exactly fulfilled in Christ, John 19:23.

(h) Vid Lipsium de Cruce, l. 2. c. 7. p. 81.
