Men wrote them! What do you expect? If they had ased one of the Mary's or Salome they would have got a precise colour definition. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-38831712968521775862008-05-04T05:48:00.000-06:002008-05-04T05:48:00.000-06:00You guys are way too smart!

John's gospel has the cloak at the scene of the crucifixion as well.<BR/><BR/>Only in Matthew's gospel is the soldier's cloak mentioned as "Scarlet" the others have it as purple. [Not that this matters so much - the particular color they are describing is that very dark red that looks virtually purple. Or a reddish purple if you will. A very expensive color to produce at that time, BTW.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-67710994265283023342008-05-03T20:43:00.000-06:002008-05-03T20:43:00.000-06:00Ooops...What is.. it was seamless.Ooops...What is.. it was seamless.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865614471400711543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-45594399678821572862008-05-03T20:42:00.000-06:002008-05-03T20:42:00.000-06:00It ws seamless, woven in one piece.It ws seamless, woven in one piece.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865614471400711543noreply@blogger.com
