44 (A)It was now about (a)(B)the sixth hour, and darkness (b)fell over the whole land until (c)the ninth hour, 45 (d)because the sun was obscured; and (C)the veil of the temple was torn (e)in two. 46 And Jesus, (D)crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, (E)into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Having said this, He breathed His last. 47 (F)Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began (G)praising God, saying, “Certainly this man was (f)innocent.” 48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, (g)(H)beating their breasts. 49 (I)And all His acquaintances and (J)the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.
