Mark 15:22-28 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 15:22-32

And when they had crucified him ,.... Had fastened him to the cross, and reared it up, and he was hanging upon it: they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take . This last clause, "what every man should take", is left out in the Arabic version.
