44 Admirou-se Pilatos de que já tivesse morrido; e chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se, de fato, havia morrido.

Marcos 15:44 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:44

And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead
For death, by crucifixion, was a slow lingering death; persons that were in their full strength hung a great while before they expired; and the two thieves, which were crucified with Christ, were not dead when he was:

and calling unto him the centurion;
who was set to watch him:

he asked him, whether he had been any while dead;
he inquired of him, whether he was dead, and how long he had been dead.

Marcos 15:44 In-Context

42 Ao cair da tarde, como era o dia da preparação, isto é, a véspera do sábado,

43 José de Arimatéia, ilustre membro do sinédrio, que também esperava o reino de Deus, cobrando ânimo foi Pilatos e pediu o corpo de Jesus.

44 Admirou-se Pilatos de que já tivesse morrido; e chamando o centurião, perguntou-lhe se, de fato, havia morrido.

45 E, depois que o soube do centurião, cedeu o cadáver a José;

46 o qual, tendo comprado um pano de linho, tirou da cruz o corpo, envolveu-o no pano e o depositou num sepulcro aberto em rocha; e rolou uma pedra para a porta do sepulcro.
