HOI men OUN stra-ti-Ô-tai TAU-ta e-POI-e-san
Exegesis
Finally, the summarizing clause Hoi men oun stratiotai tauta epoiesan {Οἱ μὲν οὖν στρατιῶται ταῦτα ἐποίησαν | Hoí mèn oûn stra-ti-ô-tai taû-ta e-poí-ē-san} employs the men–oun combination to mark a concluding and somewhat contrastive summary: “So then, the soldiers did these things.” In translation, the deliberative subjunctives are rendered as polite proposals (“Let us not tear it... let us cast lots”), the hina-clause as a purpose/result clause (“so that the Scripture might be fulfilled”), and the quotation is preserved in direct speech to maintain the explicit fulfillment connection between prophecy and narrative action.
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.
