John 19:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 ¶ [a]Then the (A)soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments (and made four parts, to every soldier a part) and his coat: and the coat was without seam woven from the top throughout.
24 ¶ Therefore they said one to another, Let us not divide it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, (B)They parted my garments among them, and on my coat did cast lots. So the soldiers did these things indeed.
25 ¶ [b]Then stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

- John 19:23 Christ signifieth by the division of his garments amongst the bloody butchers (his coat except, that hath no seam) that it shall come to pass, that he will shortly divide his benefits, and enrich his very enemies throughout the world: but so notwithstanding that the treasure of his Church shall remain whole.
- John 19:25 Christ is a perfect example of all righteousness, not only in the keeping of the first, but also of the second table.
