Greek Commentary for John 19:24
Μη Mē with first aorist active volitive subjunctive of σχιζω schizō to split. It was too valuable to ruin. Cast lots Second aorist active volitive subjunctive of λαγχανω lagchanō The usual meaning is to obtain by lot (Luke 1:9; Acts 1:17). Field (Ot. Norv. 72) holds that no example has been found where it means “cast lots” as here, but Thayer cites Isocrates, p. 144b and Diod. 4, 63. John here quotes with the usual formula Psalm 22:18 (lxx verbatim) and finds a fulfilment here. The enemies of the Lord‘s Anointed treated him as already dead (Westcott) and so cast lots (ελαβον κληρον elabon klēron the common phrase as in Matthew 27:35). [source]
Clothing, collectively. Rev., garments, for ἱμάτια , is better than raiment, which is collective, while the word is used of the separate pieces of clothing. [source]

Perfect passive indicative of τελεω teleō See same form in John 19:30. As in John 13:1, where Jesus is fully conscious (knowing, ειδως eidōs) of the meaning of his atoning death. Might be accomplished First aorist passive subjunctive of τελειοω teleioō rather than the usual πληρωτηι plērōthēi (John 19:24) with ινα hina John sees the thirst of Jesus in Psalm 69:21. Jesus, of course, did not make the outcry in any mechanical way. Thirst is one of the severest agonies of crucifixion. For the “perfecting” of the Messiah by physical suffering see Hebrews 2:10; Hebrews 5:7. [source]
Second aorist active indicative of λαγχανω lagchanō old verb, to obtain by lot as in Luke 1:9; John 19:24, especially by divine appointment as here and 2 Peter 2:1. Κληρος Klēros also means lot, an object used in casting lots (Acts 1:26), or what is obtained by lot as here and Acts 8:21, of eternal salvation (Acts 26:18; Colossians 1:12), of persons chosen by divine appointment (1 Peter 5:3). From this latter usage the Latin cleros, clericus, our clergy, one chosen by divine lot. So Peter says that Judas “obtained by lot the lot of this ministry” (διακονιας diakonias) which he had when he betrayed Jesus. The Master chose him and gave him his opportunity. [source]
Lit., obtained by lot. So Luke 1:9; John 19:24. In the sense which it has here it is used by Peter (Acts 1:17) of Judas, who had obtained part of this ministry. In this sense it occurs only in that passage and here. [source]
