John 19:23-25

23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, 24so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says,

“They divided my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.”

So the soldiers did these things, 25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Psalm 22:17I can count all my bones—they stare and gloat over me; 18 they divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.

*********************************************************************

For that matter, all of Psalm 22 written centuries before Christ came and died, prophesied about Him.

There’s proof for you, although it’s just as likely to be dismissed by anyone who doesn’t WANT to believe, and that’s all it ever gets down to. For the one who doesn’t want to believe, even a material, confirmed resurrection, wouldn’t be enough.

Even if someone rises from the dead, they won’t be convinced.

Yep. And Scripture backs you up.

IIRC, it was about the Jesus not being in the OT. There are LOTS of OT Scripture that speaks of the coming of Jesus, etc. He fulfilled them.
