When Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a certain Centurion, and besought him,
The Centurion answered and said, "Sir, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things which happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Of a surety this was the son of God."
And the servant of a certain Centurion was sick, and ready to die, whom he made much of.

There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a captain of the soldiers of Italy,
When the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him,
And they said unto him, "Cornelius the captain, a just man and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the people of the Jews, was warned by a holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee."
Which immediately took soldiers and under-captains, and ran down unto them. When they saw the upper-captain and the soldiers; They left smiting of Paul.
When the centurion heard that, he went to the upper-captain, and told him saying, "What intendest thou to do? This man is a citizen of Rome."
And Paul called one of the under captains unto him, and said, "Bring this young man unto the high captain: for he hath a certain thing to show him."
And he called unto him two under captains, saying, "Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten. And spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night.
And he commanded an under-captain to keep Paul, and that he should have rest, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister unto him, or to come unto him.
When it was concluded that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, an under-captain of Caesar's soldiers.
Neverthelater, the under-captain believed the governor, and the master, better than those things which were spoken of Paul.
But the under-captain, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that they that could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and escape to land.
And when he came to Rome, the under-captain delivered the prisoners to the chief captain of the host: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with one Soldier that kept him.

Jesus Christ » History of » Crucified (just outside jerusalem)
When they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lots. To fulfill that was spoken by the prophet, "They divided my garments among them: and upon my vesture did cast lots."

And there were two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left hand. They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads and saying, "Thou that destroyest the temple of God, and buildest it in three days: save thyself. If thou be the son of God, come down from the cross." Likewise also the high priests, mocking him with the scribes and elders, said, "He saved others, himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel: let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God: let God deliver him now if he will have him, for he said, 'I am the son of God.'" That same, also the thieves which were crucified with him cast in his teeth. From the sixth hour, was there darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, "Eli Eli lama sabacthani?" That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Some of them that stood there, when they heard that said, "This man calleth for Elijah." And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge and filled it full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. Others said, "Let be: let us see whether Elijah will come and deliver him." Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and yielded up the ghost. And behold, the veil of the temple did rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and the stones did rent, and graves did open, and the bodies of many saints which slept, arose: and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and came into the holy city, and appeared unto many. When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things which happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Of a surety this was the son of God."

We are righteously punished, for we receive according to our deeds: But this man hath done no thing amiss." And he said unto Jesus, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom."

Then said the high priests of the Jews to Pilate, "Write not, 'King of the Jews,' but that 'He said, I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written, that have I written."

And they said one to another, "Let us not divide it: but cast lots who shall have it."

As soon as Jesus had received of the vinegar, he said, "It is finished," and bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
