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
And all the people that came together to that sight,.... To see the execution of Jesus; and some of them might be his inveterate enemies, and came to insult him, and did insult him; many of these, though not every individual of them:
beholding the things which were done; the eclipse, earthquake, c.
smote their breasts as conscious of guilt, and as fearing some dreadful judgment would fall upon them, and their nation, for this sin of crucifying Christ. The Persic version reads, "they went back, and kneeled down, and prostrated themselves to the ground"; as being in the utmost astonishment, confusion, fear, and dread:
and returned; to the city, and to their own houses, where they might more seriously, and with the greater composure of mind, reflect on these things.
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 48. And all the people — All were deeply affected except the priests, and those whom they had employed to serve their base purposes. The darkness, earthquake, &c., had brought terror and consternation into every heart. How dreadful is the state of those who, in consequence of their long opposition to the grace and truth of God, are at last given up to a reprobate mind!
