23:47 innocent (or righteous; cp. Mark 15:39): Cp. Luke 23:14-15. The innocent and righteous servant of the Lord died as a sacrifice for the sins of his people (Isa 53:11).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης
the centurion
The implication is that this was the Roman officer who was in charge of the other Roman soldiers who crucified Jesus. Alternate translation: “the Roman officer in charge of the crucifixion”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸ γενόμενον
the_‹thing› /having/_become
This expression is singular and so it refers to the immediately preceding event, the death of Jesus. (The expression is plural in the next verse, where it refers to all of the events of the crucifixiion.) If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “how Jesus had entrusted his spirit to God when he died”
ἐδόξαζεν τὸν Θεὸν λέγων
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης τὸ γενόμενον ἐδόξασεν τὸν Θεὸν λέγων ὄντως ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος ἦν)
This means that the centurion glorified God by what he said. Alternate translation: “was bringing honor to God by saying”
ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος ἦν
the ¬the man this righteous was
Alternate translation: “this man had not done anything wrong”
