Luca 23:47

Listen to Luca 23:47
47 E il centurione, veduto ciò ch’era avvenuto, glorificò Iddio, dicendo: Veramente quest’uomo era giusto.

Luca 23:47 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:47

Now when the centurion saw what was done

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.
