The Death of Jesus(B)

  1. Luke 23:46 Psalm 31:5

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
