Luke 23:44-49
English Standard Version
The Death of Jesus
44 (A)It was now about the sixth hour,[a] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour,[b] 45 while the sun's light failed. And (B)the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, (C)calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, (D)into your hands I (E)commit my spirit!” And having said this (F)he breathed his last. 47 Now (G)when the centurion saw what had taken place, (H)he praised God, saying, “Certainly this man was innocent!” 48 And all the crowds that had assembled for this spectacle, when they saw what had taken place, returned home (I)beating their breasts. 49 And all (J)his acquaintances and (K)the women who had followed him from Galilee (L)stood at a distance watching these things.

Jesus Dies on the Cross
44 And by this time it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour 45 because[a] the light of the sun failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn apart down the middle. 46 And Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit!”[b] And after he[c] said this, he expired.
47 Now when[d] the centurion saw what had happened, he began to praise[e] God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous!” 48 And all the crowds that had come together for this spectacle, when they[f] saw the things that had happened, returned home[g] beating their[h] breasts. 49 And all his acquaintances, and the women who had followed him from Galilee who saw these things, stood at a distance.
