It is better that we cast lots, which of us receives it.’ This happened to fulfill what was written long ago in the Holy Book, that said: ‘They took my clothes they divided-up, and my shirt they gambled-over.’ So, what those soldiers did, was exactly like what was written long ago.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “The soldiers said to their companions, ‘We (incl.) will not tear this robe. Instead we (incl.) will just draw lots.

- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And because of that the soldiers said, ‘Let’s not tear it, rather let’s cast lots for it so we might know which one of us gets it.’ The reason they did this is because the prophecy long ago in the written word of God was being fulfilled.

- Tagbanwa: “The soldiers discussed saying, ‘Let’s not tear this one. Let’s draw lots so that we will know who can have this for his own.’ Like that came about so that what is contained in the writing which is the word of God would be fulfilled, which says, ‘They divided up my clothes, and another one of my garments, they cast lots for. Like that truly was done by those soldiers.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “The soldiers said to each other, ‘We can’t divide this. It would be better to see who wins it.’ Then it happened as it is written in the Holy Book, ‘They divided my clothing to each one.

Even more so because that Sabat Day was more important than usual. That is why the Yahudi rulers asked Pilatus so that those people who were crucified [have] their legs broken, so that they would quickly died and their bodies taken down.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “Because that was a Friday hep, the leaders of the Yahudi went to Pilatus to ask permission to command that the lower-legs of the three people nailed to the posts be broken so that they would die faster and could be taken down already while the day of-no-work had not yet started.

So the leaders of the Jews, they went and told Pilato that the soldiers should fracture the legs of those who were nailed on the crosses so they would die immediately so their bodies would then be taken-down. Because the Jews, they considered-it-taboo/improper if the day for-resting would arrive and the bodies were still on the cross.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

Well, since the Judio didn’t want that when those who were nailed were now dead, they just be left on the cross when it was now the Day of Rest, that’s why they made arrangements with Pilato. They requested that the legs of those who were nailed on a cross would be broken so that they would then die quickly/easily and be removed from there.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)

Then when they were dead, the corpses would be taken down from the crosses.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
