Luke 23:44-49
1599 Geneva Bible
44 ¶ [a]And it was about the sixth hour: and there was a darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour.
45 [b]And the Sun was darkened, and the veil of the Temple rent through the midst.
46 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and said, (A)Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when he thus had said, he gave up the ghost.
47 ¶ [c]Now when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a surety this man was just.
48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done: smote their breasts, and returned.
49 [d]And all his acquaintances stood afar off, and the women that followed him from Galilee, beholding these things.
