Context of Luke 23:46

44It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until the ninth hour, 45because the sun stopped shining; and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He died. 47Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, “This Man was in fact innocent.” 48And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, after watching what had happened, began to return home, beating their chests.

Commentaries on Luke 23:46

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 46Into thy hands I commend my spirit - Or, I will commit my spirit - I deposit my soul in thy hands. Another proof of the immateriality of the soul, and of its separate existence when the body is dead.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 44-46Verses 44-46 See the notes at Matthew 27:45-50.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 44-49Verses 44-49 We have here the death of Christ magnified by the wonders that attended it, and his death explained by the words with which he breathed out his soul. He was willing to offer himself. Let us seek to glorify God by true repentance and conversion; by protesting against those who crucify the Saviour; by a sober, righteous, and godly life; and by employing our talents in the service of Him who died for us and rose again.Read the comment
