Yeshua’s death

23:44 Yeshua’s death

(Yhn 19:28-30; Mark 15:33-4; Mat. 27:45-56)

44 By then it was around midday but it went dark until around 3pm—45 the sun went dark[fn] and the curtain inside the temple was torn in the middle.[ref] 46 Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) called out loudly, “Father, I’m entrusting my spirit into your care.”[ref] and after saying that, he stopped breathing.

47 When the centurion saw how it happened, he praised God saying, “This really was an innocent man.”

48 The crowd of people who’d gathered for the spectacle, after seeing what happened they returned to the city, beating their chests in sorrow. 49 Yeshua’s acquaintances had stood further back, along with the women who have accompanied him from Galil,[ref] and they too saw it all.

23:45 Although the Greek word ‘ἐκλιπόντος’ (eklipontos, a different word from what was used in the previous verse) might suggest a natural eclipse, this is impossible for a few reasons, particularly that these events occurred around Passover which coincides with the full moon when an eclipse is physically impossible, and also because an eclipse only lasts a few minutes, not hours.

23:45: Exo 26:31-33.

23:46: Psa 31:5.

23:49: Luk 8:2-3.
