<p>23:47 <i>And when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying: Certainly, this was a righteous man</i>- He said it twice: &quot;This was a righteous man (Lk.), &quot;truly this man was the son of God&quot; (Mk.). And he might well have added in his own thoughts: &ldquo;And I&rsquo;ve crucified him&quot;. The Lord died through an act of utter self-control; consciously breathing out His last breath in the form of the words &quot;Father into your hands I commit my spirit&quot;. He gave His life, it was not taken from Him (Jn. 10:18).</p>
