Luke 23:44-49

New Century Version

Jesus Dies

⁴⁴ It was about noon, and the whole land became dark until three o’clock in the afternoon, ⁴⁵ because the sun did not shine. The curtain in the Temple^[a] was torn in two. ⁴⁶ Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, I give you my life.” After Jesus said this, he died.

⁴⁷ When the army officer there saw what happened, he praised God, saying, “Surely this was a good man!”

⁴⁸ When all the people who had gathered there to watch saw what happened, they returned home, beating their chests because they were so sad. ⁴⁹ But those who were close friends of Jesus, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance and watched.
