Luke 23:44-49

Modern English Version

The Death of Jesus^(A)

⁴⁴ It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour, ⁴⁵ while the sun was darkened. And the veil of the temple was torn in the middle. ⁴⁶ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He gave up the spirit.

⁴⁷ When the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God and said, “Certainly, this was a righteous Man.” ⁴⁸ All the crowds who came together to that sight, witnessing what occurred, struck their chests and returned. ⁴⁹ But all those who knew Him and the women accompanying Him from Galilee stood at a distance, seeing these things.
