Luke 23:44-49

The Death of Jesus

44 ¹It was now about the sixth hour,^[a] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,^[b]

45 while the sun's light failed. And ²the curtain of the temple was torn in two.

46 Then Jesus, ³calling out with a loud voice, said, "Father, ⁴into your hands I ⁵commit my spirit!" And having said this ⁶he breathed his last.

47 Now ⁷when the centurion saw what had taken place, ⁸he praised God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent!"

48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home ⁹beating their breasts.

49 And all ¹⁰his acquaintances and ¹¹the women who had followed him from Galilee ¹²stood at a distance watching these things.
