The soldiers divided Jesus' clothes by casting lots for them, fulfilling a prophecy in The Bible which states, "They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." (John 19:24) This act symbolized the soldiers' callousness and demonstrated their lack of regard for Jesus as they crucified him.
