They would not have been fighting for his robe, but fighting for Him to be taken off the cross if they really believed He healed people.
It just goes to show how much effort people take to uphold a tradition. Gambling for his robe meant it was expensive.

I'm not trying to hold any tradition. You said Clarke agrees it was expensive and I said he stated probably was expensive. How does this apply to Paul and Peter's argument about women?
