44 ^aNow it¹ was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45 Then the sun was¹ darkened, and ^athe veil of the temple was torn in² two.

46 And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ^a‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’ ” ^bHaving said this, He breathed His last.

47 ^aSo when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man!”

48 And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.

49 ^aBut all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
