Charles H. Spurgeon
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. How accurate is this description even to the least detail! How wondrously was this poet-prophet inspired when he thus drew the portrait of the crucified Christ! “They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.”
