The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers.

The Crucifixion of Jesus

The Crucifixion of Jesus

When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
-
“Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said, “They divided my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.” So this is what the soldiers did.

The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.

In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.

When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers.
-
Paul Speaks to the Crowd
As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.
