De sa derfor til hverandre, La oss ikke rive den i stykker, men kaste lodd om hvem som skal få den. Dette gjorde de for at Skriftene skulle oppfylles, som sier: De delte mine klær mellom seg, og kastet lodd om min kjortel. Dette gjorde soldatene.
So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.
