It was about noon, but it turned dark throughout the
land until three o’clock in the afternoon, because the sun stopped shining. The
curtain in the Temple was torn into two pieces. Jesus shouted, “Father, I put
my life in your hands!” After Jesus said this, he died.
The army
officer there saw what happened. He praised God, saying, “I know this man was a
good man!”
Many people had
come out of the city to see all this. When they saw it, they felt very sorry
and left. The people who were close
friends of Jesus were there. Also, there were some women who had followed Jesus
from Galilee. They all stood far away from the cross and watched these things.
Luke 23:44-49
