then they sat down and kept watch over him there.
The centurion and the men with him who were keeping watch over Jesus feared greatly when they saw the earthquake and all that was happening, and they said, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”
Pilate was amazed that he was already dead. He summoned the centurion and asked him if Jesus had already died.
When the centurion who stood facing him saw how he breathed his last he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
And they placed over his head the written charge against him: This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.
