From BibleWiki
24: ειπον ουν προς αλληλους μη σχισωμεν αυτον αλλα λαχωμεν περι αυτου τινος εσται ινα η γραφη πληρωθη η λεγουσα διεμερισαντο τα ιματια μου εαυτοις και επι τον ιματισμον μου εβαλον κληρον οι μεν ουν στρατιωται ταυτα εποιησαν
24: They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but
cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might
be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them,
and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore
the soldiers did.
24: They said then one to another: Let us not cut it but let us cast
lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled,
saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture
they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things.
Let us not rend it. It would then have been useless. The outer garment, being composed of several parts -- fringes, borders. &c. Deut 12:12 could be easily divided.
