The act of crucifixion was a Roman method of execution reserved for the most heinous criminals and was designed to be a public spectacle of shame and suffering. It fulfilled the prophecy in <a href="/psalms/22-16.htm">Psalm 22:16</a>, "They pierced my hands and my feet." This method of execution was not only physically excruciating but also symbolically significant, as it represented the curse of the law (<a href="/galatians/3-13.htm">Galatians 3:13</a>). Jesus' crucifixion took place at Golgotha, outside the city walls of Jerusalem, aligning with the requirement for sin offerings to be burned outside the camp (<a href="/hebrews/13-11.htm">Hebrews 13:11-12</a>). This event is central to Christian theology, as it represents the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>).They also divided His garments by casting lots This action fulfilled the prophecy found in <a href="/psalms/22-18.htm">Psalm 22:18</a>, "They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." The Roman soldiers, who were responsible for carrying out the crucifixion, would customarily take the victim's clothing as part of their spoils. The casting of lots was a common practice in ancient times to make decisions or divide possessions, indicating the soldiers' indifference to the suffering of Jesus and their focus on material gain. This act underscores the humiliation and degradation Jesus endured, stripped of His dignity and possessions.to decide what each of them would take. The division of Jesus' garments among the soldiers highlights the fulfillment of Scripture and the sovereignty of God in the details of the crucifixion. Each soldier received a portion, but the seamless tunic was left to be decided by casting lots, emphasizing the fulfillment of prophecy and the meticulous orchestration of events according to divine plan. This moment also serves as a stark contrast between the soldiers' earthly concerns and the spiritual significance of Jesus' sacrifice.

Such is the most approved reading. The evangelist states the fact without staying to dwell on the painful circumstances connected with the act of nailing him to the cross; and passes on to the mention of other things. They part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take. The outer robe and the tunic would have been removed previously to the crucifixion. St. John (<a href="/john/21-23.htm">John 21:23</a>) here goes into details. "They took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top through.. out." His garments (τὰ ἱμάτια). This would be the loose, flowing outer dress with girdle. The tunic (χιτών) was a closefitting dress, worn underneath the ἱμάτιον. There were four soldiers employed for each crucifixion. St. Cyril refers to the clothes of criminals as the perquisite of the executioners. Here was another ingredient of bitterness in our Lord's cup, that he saw before his eyes his garments torn by the soldiery, and his tunic divided to them by lot. But he divested himself of these garments of mortality, that he might clothe us with life and immortality. <a href="/commentaries/mark/15-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And Καὶ (Kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely. they crucified σταυροῦσιν (staurousin) Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_4717.htm">Strong's 4717: </a> From stauros; to impale on the cross; figuratively, to extinguish passion or selfishness.
