This made the words of Isaiah the prophet come true. He had said, “Lord, who has believed what we’ve been saying? Who has seen the Lord’s saving power?”
“Let’s not tear it in pieces,” they said to one another. “Let’s cast lots to see who will take it.” This happened so that the Scripture would come true that says, “They divided up my clothes among them, and they cast lots for what I was wearing.” So that’s what the soldiers did.
While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe through the name you gave me. Not one of them has been lost, except the one headed for destruction, so that Scripture would come true.
