The soldiers divided Jesus’ garments

The soldiers took Jesus’ clothes and divided them among themselves. Jesus’ tunic was woven in one piece. They said, "We won’t tear it. We will gamble to see who will get it."

For the soldiers, this was just another workday. If we could ask them what they were thinking, they might say, "I’m doing what I’m told," or, "I need this job."

There will always be people who take advantage of weak or defenseless people. Sometimes we do it ourselves. But Jesus told us, "Whenever you refused to help these least important ones, you refused to help me."
