Luke 23:44-49
Legacy Standard Bible
44 (A)And it was now about [a](B)the sixth hour, and darkness [b]fell over the whole land until [c]the ninth hour, 45 [d]because the sun was obscured. And (C)the veil of the [e]sanctuary was torn [f]in two. 46 And Jesus, (D)crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, (E)into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last. 47 (F)Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began (G)praising God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous.” 48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, were returning, [g](H)beating their chests. 49 (I)And all His acquaintances and (J)the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, watching these things.

International Standard Version
Jesus Dies on the Cross(A)
44 It was already about noon,[a] and the whole land[b] became dark until three in the afternoon[c] 45 because the sun had stopped shining, and the curtain[d] in the sanctuary was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.”[e] After he said this, he breathed his last.
47 When the centurion[f] saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “This man certainly was righteous!” 48 When all the crowds who had come together for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they beat their chests and left. 49 But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, were standing at a distance watching these things.
