Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gamblers and Gambling Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part, and also his coat. Now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. These things therefore the soldiers did. I have condensed into one account the separate parts of this gambling transaction as narrated by each evangelist. How marked in every age is a Gambler´s character! The enraged priesthood of ferocious sects taunted Christ´s dying agonies; the bewildered multitude, accustomed to cruelty, could shout; but no earthly creature, but a Gambler, could be so lost to all feeling as to sit down coolly under a dying man to wrangle for his garments, and arbitrate their avaricious differences by casting dice for his tunic, with hands spotted with his spattered blood, warm and yet undried upon them.
