Matthew 27:31

And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him.

Alfred Plummer noted that in Mark's account of this event, the "they" who mocked him were not the same as the "they" who led him away, a conclusion based on a change of the tense.[4] A special detail of soldiers, commanded by a centurion, took over the bloody and terrible business of crucifying Christ and the two robbers condemned along with him. Perhaps the "purple" or "scarlet" robe, having fulfilled its purpose, was returned to its owner; and Christ, clad in his own garments, went to the cross. Those garments included the "seamless robe," different from the colored one; and it was upon that that the soldiers cast lots.
