Bible Question:
Thank you, Searcher, for your rapid reply. Are you telling me, therefore, that clothes torn from those executed are "trophies", even those worn by blacks who were executed by mobs in the U.S. in the past? I get the impression however from the passage in John that, because they are soldiers and are dividing Jesus's clothing, they plan on wearing these clothes at a later date. I'm probably mistaken, but that is the impression I get. Daniel |
Bible Answer: Daniel, they could of worn them as well. Searcher |
