Exegesis
The quotation itself, diemerisanto ta himatia mou heautois kai epi ton himatismon mou ebalon kleron {Διεμερίσαντο τὰ ἱμάτιά μου ἑαυτοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ἱματισμόν μου ἔβαλον κλῆρον | Di-e-me-rí-san-to tà hi-má-ti-a mou he-au-toîs kaì epì tòn hi-ma-tis-món mou é-ba-lon klê-ron}, uses aorist verbs to describe completed actions, matching the soldiers’ behavior in detail (division of garments and casting of lots).
In context — John 19:24
Therefore they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it to see whose it will be,” so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which says, “They divided my garments among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.” Therefore, the soldiers did these things.
