John 19:24

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then they said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to decide whose it will be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They parted my garments among them. For my cloak they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

Strong's King James
(24) Therefore they said to one another, "Let's not split it apart but draw lots about it, whose it is." In order to complete The Writing that said:"THEY DIVIDED MY GARMENTS AMONGST THEM AND DREW LOTS FOR MY CLOTHING."Therefore be sure, the soldiers did this.
The F.O.G*
[24] "Let's not tear it," they said. "Let's decide by lot who will get it." This fulfilled the scripture: "They divided My garments among them and cast lots for My clothing." Even in their gambling, prophecy was fulfilled.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
they said, therefore, to one another, ‘We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;’ that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, ‘They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;’ the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.
