Contextual Overview
44It was now about the sixth hour (noon), and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour (3:00 p.m.), 45because the sun was obscured; and the veil [of the Holy of Holies] of the temple was torn in two [from top to bottom]. 46And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT!" Having said this, He breathed His last. 47Now when the centurion saw what had taken place, he began praising and honoring God, saying, "Certainly this Man was innocent." 48All the crowds who had gathered for this spectacle, when they saw what had happened, began to return [to their homes], beating their breasts [as a sign of mourning or repentance]. 49And all His acquaintances and the women who had accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, watching these things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the sun was darkened,.... There was an eclipse of it, which was preternatural, it being now full moon, and lasted three hours, and so total, as to darken the whole earth; and now was the prophecy in Amos 8:9 literally fulfilled: and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. The Persic version renders it, "the gate of the temple"; and so the Syriac version, "the face of the gate of the temple"; Amos 8:9- :.
