Luke 23:49

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....

See the notes at Matthew 27:52. Luke 23:48 THE THINGS WHICH WERE DONE - The earthquake, the darkness, and the sufferings of Jesus. SMOTE THEIR BREASTS - In token of alarm, fear, and anguish.

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

That were related to him in a natural, or in a spiritual sense, or both, as his own mother, and beloved disciple John, who were both present, John 19:26 or those that were known unto him, and familiar with him, who attended on his ministry, and often conversed, and were intimately acquainted with him: AND THE WOMEN THAT FOLLOWED HIM FROM GALILEE; among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Joses, and Salome the mother of Zebedee's children: STOOD AFAR OFF; from the cross: BEHOLDING THESE THINGS; with wonder, as well as looking upon their dear suffering Lord, with aching hearts, and flowing eyes....

Luke 23:1 , _And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

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
