They Took All That Jesus Had
Crucified criminals had no rights. Even their clothes did not belong to them. So the soldiers took them; it seems to have been accepted as a ‘perk’ of their job. They divided out Jesus’ clothes between them, but the woven wool undergarment was useful and it would have been senseless to cut it into pieces of cloth – so they selected one man by casting lots, and he took the garment home.
