Mark 15:38-40
Living Bible
38 And the curtain[a] in the Temple was split apart from top to bottom.
39 When the Roman officer standing beside his cross saw how he dismissed his spirit, he exclaimed, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”
40 Some women were there watching from a distance—Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother of James the Younger and of Joses), Salome, and others.

- Mark 15:38 And the curtain. A heavy veil hung in front of the room in the Temple called “The Holy of Holies,” a place reserved by God for himself; the veil separated him from sinful mankind. Now this veil was split from above, showing that Christ’s death for man’s sin had opened up access to the holy God.
