The coat was delivered over to Schobal.
He went up and down in the crowd with the garment.

It was the coat of the Prophet who was being executed! Who wanted a souvenir of that day?
He would sell the coat for the half of its value; it might be bought for twelve pence! A man brought long iron nails in a basket.

The Nazarene was not to be tied, but nailed, because He had once said that He should descend from the cross.

When they noticed that Jesus was nearly swooning, they offered Him a refreshing drink of vinegar and myrrh.

He refused it with thanks, and when He began to sink down the executioners caught Him and laid Him on the cross.
Suddenly the crowd drew back.
