Context of Mark 15:39

37And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, who stood in front of him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. 40There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; 41(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered to him;) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

Commentaries on Mark 15:39

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 39The centurion: The Latin word centurion refers to an officer in charge of 100 men. Jesus as the Son of God was announced by many voices. God declared it(1:11; 9:7).

Now, a Gentile (non-Jewish) officer also declares it.Read the comment
