|And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
|And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
|And they crucified Him, and divided His clothes by [[gambling]], so that these [[prophet]]ic words might be fulfilled: "They divided my clothes among them, and threw dice for my apparel."
|And they crucified Him, and divided His clothes by [[gambling]], so that these [[prophet]]ic words might be fulfilled: "They divided my clothes among them, and threw dice for my apparel."

|<span id="27:35"></span>"casting lots" is archaic today, when the term "gambling" is far more familiar. This verse helps illustrate the [[demonic]] nature of gambling, and how un-[[Christ]]-like gambling is. The essential point is the devotion to chance as a force that triumphs temporarily over good here.
