They said therefore one to another, 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 garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots.

So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

Ειπον λοιπον προς αλληλους· Ας μη σχισωμεν αυτον, αλλ' ας ριψωμεν λαχνον περι αυτου τινος θελει εισθαι· δια να πληρωθη η γραφη η λεγουσα· Διεμερισθησαν τα ιματια μου εις εαυτους, Και επι τον ιματισμον μου εβαλον κληρον· οι μεν λοιπον στρατιωται ταυτα εκαμον.

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.
