This adjective describes something woven or made without seams—not stitched together from pieces but made as a continuous whole. Medical writers use it for body parts without sutures. John employs it to describe Jesus's tunic at the crucifixion—a seamless garment woven in one piece from top to bottom, which the soldiers chose not to tear but to gamble for intact. This detail may evoke the high priest's seamless robe, adding symbolic depth to John's crucifixion account.
