 | With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!" |
 | And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. |

Commentary
Jesus cried out with strength and triumph-then breathed His last. His death was an act of His will, not an involuntary collapse. At that moment, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. This was an act of God indicating that by Christ's death, access into the sanctuary of God was henceforth the privilege of all believers (see Heb. 10:19-22). A great new era had been ushered in. It would be an era of nearness to God, not of distance from Him.
