Jesus Dies on the Cross

44 And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour 45 because[fn] the light of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart down the middle. 46 And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit!”[fn] And after he[fn] said this, he expired.

47 Now when[fn] the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise[fn] God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!” 48 And all the crowds that had come together for this spectacle, when they[fn] saw the things that had happened, returned home[fn] beating their[fn] breasts. 49 And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these things, stood at a distance.
