Mark 15:24

15:24 Then they crucified him and divided his clothes, throwing dice for them, to decide what each would take.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

sn See the note on Crucify in 15:13.

tn Grk “by throwing the lot” (probably by using marked pebbles or broken pieces of pottery). A modern equivalent, “throwing dice,” was chosen here because of its association with gambling. According to L&N 6.219 a term for “dice” is particularly appropriate.
