24 And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
24 And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.
24 And they nailed him to the cross. They divided up his clothes and threw dice to see who would get them.
24 And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.
24 Then the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They divided his clothes and threw dice to decide who would get each piece.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 15:24
Commentary on Mark 15:22-32
(Read Mark 15:22-32)
The place where our Lord Jesus was crucified, was called the place of a scull; it was the common place of execution; for he was in all respects numbered with the transgressors. Whenever we look unto Christ crucified, we must remember what was written over his head; he is a King, and we must give up ourselves to be his subjects, as Israelites indeed. They crucified two thieves with him, and him in the midst; they thereby intended him great dishonour. But it was foretold that he should be numbered with the transgressors, because he was made sin for us. Even those who passed by railed at him. They told him to come down from the cross, and they would believe; but they did not believe, though he gave them a more convincing sign when he came up from the grave. With what earnestness will the man who firmly believes the truth, as made known by the sufferings of Christ, seek for salvation! With what gratitude will he receive the dawning hope of forgiveness and eternal life, as purchased for him by the sufferings and death of the Son of God! and with what godly sorrow will he mourn over the sins which crucified the Lord of glory!
