23. And the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and divided him into four parts, each soldier a part, and a tunic; The tunic was not sewn, but all woven on top.

24. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear him asunder, but let us cast lots for him, whose it will be, that it may be fulfilled that which is spoken in the Scriptures: They have divided my garments among themselves, and have cast lots for my garments." This is what the soldiers did.

31. But since it was Friday, the Jews, in order not to leave the bodies on the cross on the Sabbath – for that was a great day – asked Pilate to break their legs and take them off.
