Contextual Overview
44And it was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45because the sun was obscured. And the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two. 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 happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was righteous." 48And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, were returning, beating their chests. 49And all His acquaintances and the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, watching these things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now when the centurion saw what was done,.... The eclipse of the sun, the darkness upon the land, the earthquake, the rocks rent, and Jesus expire in so uncommon a manner:
he glorified God; by confessing that Christ was the Son of God, and declaring him an innocent person:
saying, certainly, this was a righteous man; clear of the charges exhibited against him, and has suffered wrongfully; and this he concluded from those unusual appearances, and which he considered as tokens of divine resentment.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 27:52-55.
Luke 23:48
The things which were done - The earthquake, the darkness, and the sufferings of Jesus.
Smote their breasts - In token of alarm, fear, and anguish. They saw the judgments of God; they saw the guilt of the rulers; and they feared the farther displeasure of the Almighty.
