5 Or, And Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said.

a The probable order of these four sayings coming just before the death of Jesus is (1) The Cry of Desolation, Mark 15:34 = Matt. 27:46. (2) The Cry of Physical Anguish, John 19:28. (3) The Cry of Victory, John 19:30. (4) The Cry of Resignation, Luke 23:46. These four sayings of Jesus are with reference to himself.

§ 166. THE PHENOMENA ACCOMPANYING THE DEATH OF CHRIST

Mark 15:38-41Matt. 27:51-56Luke 23:45, 47-49
38 And the veil of the
2temple was rent in
twain from the top
to the bottom.

39 And when
the centurion, which
stood by over against
him, saw that he 1so
gave up the ghost, he
said,
Truly this
man was 3the Son of
God. 40 And there were
also women beholding
from afar: among
whom were both
Mary Magdalene, and
Mary the mother of
James the 4less and of
Joses, and Salome;
41 who, when he was in
Galilee, followed him,
and ministered unto
him; and many other
women which came
up with him unto
Jerusalem. 		51 And behold, the
veil of the 2temple
was rent in twain
from the top to the
bottom; and the earth
did quake; and the
rocks were rent; 52 and
the tombs were opened;
and many bodies
of the saints that had
fallen asleep were
raised; 53 and coming
forth out of the tombs
after his resurrection
they entered into the
holy city and
appeared unto many.
54 Now the centurion,
and they that were
with him watching
Jesus, when they saw
the earthquake, and
the things that were
done, feared
exceedingly, saying,
Truly this was 3the
Son of God. 55 And
many women were there
beholding from afar,
which had followed
Jesus from Galilee,
ministering unto him:
56 among whom was
Mary Magdalene, and
Mary the mother of
James and Joses, and
the mother of the
sons of Zebedee. 		45 And the veil of
the 2temple was rent in
the midst.

47 And
when the centurion

saw what was done,
he glorified God,
saying, Certainly this
was a righteous man.
48 And all the
multitudes that came
together to this sight,
when they beheld the
things that were done,
returned smiting their
breasts. 49 And all his
acquaintance, and the
women that followed
with him from Galilee,
stood afar off,
seeing these things.
