Abba-

Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also [his] coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
Jhn 19:23

I was reading the KJV Biblical account by John the beloved disciple about Jesus' crucifiction. The description of His " coat without seam, woven from the top throughout " made me google it. I found a portion of a book, titled "Strange Scriptures that Perplex the Western Mind" by Barbara M Bowen that said:

"In the southern part of Palestine the abba, or outside cloak, of the fellah is made of 2 strips of material joined by a seam. In the northern part of the country the abbas are made of one piece of material, woven throughout without a seam.
Coming from Galilee he must've dressed as a Galilean peasant, and worn over his other garments a seamless abba, or cloak such as they wore in northern Palastine."

Didn't Jesus tell us to call our Heavenly Father "Abba Father" ? Our "ONE PIECE OF MATERIAL, WOVEN THROUGHOUT WITHOUT SEAM" Our outer, PROTECTIVE GARMENT, cloak and COVERING ?

HOW NEAT is that??!!
