Scene 22: Jesus is Stripped of his Garments (Station 10)

They nailed him to a cross
They gambled for his clothes
When the soldiers had finished crucifying Jesus, they took his clothing and divided it among themselves. His outer garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, so they decided to gamble for the garment.

The Centurion noticed his men arguing over who would get the clothes so told them, "Throw dice. Let that decide who is to have it.
So they placed a game of dance, rolling dice and soon was heard, "Yes it’s mine!"

In this way Scripture was fulfilled: "They shared out my clothing and divided it among them, they cast lots for my clothes".
This is exactly what the soldiers did.
