Luke 23:45

45 et obscuratus est sol et velum templi scissum est medium

Luke 23:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 23:45

And the sun was darkened
There was an eclipse of it, which was preternatural, it being now full moon, and lasted three hours, and so total, as to darken the whole earth; and now was the prophecy in ( Amos 8:9 ) literally fulfilled: and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. The Persic version renders it, "the gate of the temple"; and so the Syriac version, "the face of the gate of the temple"; (See Gill on Matthew 27:51).

45 et obscuratus est sol et velum templi scissum est medium

46 et clamans voce magna Iesus ait Pater in manus tuas commendo spiritum meum et haec dicens exspiravit

47 videns autem centurio quod factum fuerat glorificavit Deum dicens vere hic homo iustus erat
