Following are a number of back-translations of John 19:24:

It is better that we cast lots, which of us receives it.’ This happened to fulfill what was written long ago in the Holy Book, that said: ‘They took my clothes they divided-up, and my shirt they gambled-over.’ So, what those soldiers did, was exactly like what was written long ago.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “The soldiers said to their companions, ‘We (incl.) will not tear this robe. Instead we (incl.) will just draw lots.

- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And because of that the soldiers said, ‘Let’s not tear it, rather let’s cast lots for it so we might know which one of us gets it.’ The reason they did this is because the prophecy long ago in the written word of God was being fulfilled.

- Tagbanwa: “The soldiers discussed saying, ‘Let’s not tear this one. Let’s draw lots so that we will know who can have this for his own.’ Like that came about so that what is contained in the writing which is the word of God would be fulfilled, which says, ‘They divided up my clothes, and another one of my garments, they cast lots for. Like that truly was done by those soldiers.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
- Tenango Otomi: “The soldiers said to each other, ‘We can’t divide this. It would be better to see who wins it.’ Then it happened as it is written in the Holy Book, ‘They divided my clothing to each one.
