Luke 23:45

And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. For the exposition, see the notes at ; and at John 19:31....

44-49 We have here the death of Christ magnified by the wonders that attended it, and his death explained by the words with which he breathed out his soul. He was willing to offer himself. Let us seek to glorify God by true repentance and conversion; by protesting against those who crucify the Saviour; by a sober, righteous, and godly life; and by employing our talents in the service of Him who died for us and rose again....

EXPOSITION LUKE 23:1 _The trial before Pilate_:_ First examination._ LUKE 23:1 AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THEM AROSE, AND LED HIM UNTO PILATE. The Sanhedrin had now formally condemned Jesus to death. They were, however, precluded by the Roman regulations then in force from carrying out their judgment. A capital sentence in Judaea could only be inflicted as the result of a decision by the Roman court. The Sanhedrin supposed, and as we shall see rightly, that the judgment they had pronounced would speedily be confirmed by the Roman judge. The Sanhedrin condemnation to death was, however, from the Jewish standpoint, illegal. In capital cases judgment could not be legally pronounced on the day of trial. But in the case of J

AND THE SUN WAS DARKENED,.... There was an eclipse of it, which was preternatural, it being now full moon, and lasted three hours, and so total, as to darken the whole earth; and now was the prophecy in Amos 8:9 literally fulfilled: and the vail of the temple was rent in the midst. The Persic version renders it, "the gate of the temple"; and so the Syriac version, "the face of the gate of the temple"; Matthew 27:51....

Luke 23:1 , _And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate. And they began to accuse him saying, We found this_ Put in what word you like villains scoundrel our translators could not find a better word than that inexpressive-expressive word «fellow.» «We found Eats fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ, a King.» They shift the charge, you see, now; before, it was blasphemy, now it is sedition. Luke 23:2. _Fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar saying that he himself is Christ a King. And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it._ Another of the evangelists tells us that he first asked Pilate w

THE DEATH OF JESUS (Mark 15:33 *, Matthew 27:45 *). LUKE 23:45. THE SUN'S LIGHT FAILING: the words do not necessarily imply an eclipse. The rending of the Temple veil is earlier than in Mk. Luke 23:46. Instead of the cry, Eloi, eloi, etc., we have Father, into thy hands, etc., which is also from the Psalms (Psalms 31:5). Luke 23:47. The centurion's words are given in such a form as to confirm the Roman opinion of Jesus-' innocence. His confe
