Luke 23:44-49

44Around noon darkness came over the entire land and lasted until three in the afternoon.

45The sun had stopped shining. The curtain in the temple was split in two.

46Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit.” After he said this, he died.

47When an army officer saw what had happened, he praised God and said, “Certainly, this man was innocent!”

48Crowds had gathered to see the sight. But when all of them saw what had happened, they cried and returned to the city.

49All his friends, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance and watched everything.
