44 Now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness fell upon the whole earth, until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the door curtains of the temple were torn in the center. 46 Then Jesus cried with a loud voice and said, O my Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. He said this and passed away. 47 When the centurion saw what had happened, he praised God and said, Truly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people who were gathered together to see this sight, when they saw what had happened, returned, beating their breasts. 49 And all the acquaintances of Jesus stood afar off, and the women who had come with him from Galilee, and they were beholding these things.
