What Old Testament prophecy was fulfilled when the soldiers cast lots for Jesus' clothing?
Scripture states that when they crucified Him and parted His garments, casting lots, it fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet. That prophecy goes back to David in the Psalms: 'they cast lots upon my vesture.' This was the Old Testament prediction fulfilled at His crucifixion.
Les explains that the soldiers crucified Him and parted His garments, casting lots, so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet. He traces that prophecy back to David in the Psalms, quoting, 'they cast lots upon my vesture.' The context also notes that after this, they sat down and watched Him, and Les indicates he will continue teaching from that point.
