Paul,
What is the difference in the meaning between the term "garments" in Luke 23:11, "garments" in John 19:2, and "robe" in Matthew 27:28?
In the Greek there is a clear difference in the meaning of the word "robe" (as in the English translations) of Matthew 27:28 and John 19:2. The "robe" in Matthew 27:28 is a "chlamus" and the "robe" in John 19:2 is a "himation".
If a similar difference exists in Aramaic (as it does in Greek) then I have the solution for the riddle of the color of The Messiah's robe.
