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 Ya al atardecer, como era el d铆a de la preparaci贸n, es decir, la v铆spera del d铆a de reposo,
43 vino Jos茅 de Arimatea, miembro prominente del concilio, que tambi茅n esperaba el reino de Dios; y llen谩ndose de valor, entr贸 adonde estaba Pilato y le pidi贸 el cuerpo de Jes煤s.
44 Pilato se sorprendi贸 de que ya hubiera muerto, y llamando al centuri贸n, le pregunt贸 si ya estaba muerto.
45 Y comprobando esto por medio del centuri贸n, le concedi贸 el cuerpo a Jos茅,
46 quien compr贸 un lienzo de lino, y baj谩ndole de la cruz, le envolvi贸 en el lienzo de lino y le puso en un sepulcro que hab铆a sido excavado en la roca; e hizo rodar una piedra a la entrada del sepulcro.
