Bible Question:
Thank you for your response. The first death you refer to began before the cross after Gethsemane, according to Isaiah 53:4-5. Matthew 27:50-51 and Mark 15:37-38 both record Jesus as breathing his last and then the curtain of the temple is ripped in two, both accounts as a part of the catastrophic occurences upon Jesus' death. Luke 23:45-46 records the curtain having been ripped in two prior to Jesus breathing his last. My question is when exactly did the curtain rip in two, before as in Luke, or after as in Matt and Mark, Jesus breathed his last? |
Bible Answer: Mat_27:45 Mar_15:33 Luk_23:44 [Mt Mk Lk ] And [ Lk ] it [ Mk Lk ] was [ Lk ] about [Mt Mk Lk ] the sixth hour, [ Lk ] and [Mt Mk Lk ] there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour; Luk_23:45 a [ Lk ] and the sun was darkened. Joh_19:25 [ Jn] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. Joh_19:26 [ Jn] When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved,* he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! [*Note: This is John himself. See John 21:24.] Joh_19:27 [ Jn] Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home]. Mat_27:46 Mar_15:34 [Mt Mk ] And Joh_19:28 [ Jn] after this, [Mt ] about [Mt Mk ] the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, [ Mk ] being interpreted, [Mt Mk ] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Mat_27:47 Mar_15:35 [Mt Mk ] And some of them that stood there, when they heard [it], said, [ Mk ] Behold, [Mt Mk ] he calleth Elias. [ ] [And] [ Jn] Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Joh_19:29 [ Jn] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: Mat_27:48 Mar_15:36 [Mt Mk Jn] and [Mt ] straightway [Mt Mk ] one [Mt ] of [Mt Jn] them [Mt Mk ] ran, and [Mt ] took [Mt Mk Jn] a spunge, [Mt ] and [Mt Mk Jn] filled [Mt ] [it] [Mt Mk Jn] with vinegar, and put [it] on [Mt Mk ] a [ Jn] hyssop [Mt Mk ] reed, [ Jn] and put [it] to his mouth, [Mt Mk ] and gave him to drink, Mat_27:49 [Mt Mk ] saying [ ] [with] [Mt ] the rest, [Mt Mk ] Let be; let us see whether Elias will come to [ Mk ] take him down [ ] [and] [Mt ] save him. Joh_19:30 [ Jn] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished. Mat_27:50 Mar_15:37 Luk_23:46 [Mt Mk Lk ] And when Jesus had cried [Mt ] again [Mt Mk Lk ] with a loud voice, [ Lk ] he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: [ Lk Jn] and [ Lk ] having said thus, [Mt Mk Lk Jn] he [ Jn] bowed his head, and [Mt Mk Lk Jn] gave up the ghost. Mat_27:51 Mar_15:38 Luk_23:45 b [Mt Mk Lk ] And, [Mt ] behold, [Mt Mk Lk ] the veil of the temple was rent [Mt Mk ] in twain [ Lk ] in the midst, [Mt Mk ] from the top to the bottom; [Mt ] and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; Mat_27:52 [Mt ] and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, Mat_27:53 [Mt ] and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Mat_27:54 Mar_15:39 Luk_23:47 [Mt Mk Lk ] Now when the centurion, [ Mk ] which stood over against him, [Mt ] and they that were with him, watching Jesus, [Mt Mk Lk ] saw [ Mk ] that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, [ ] [and] [Mt ] the earthquake, and [Mt Lk ] what was done, [Mt ] they feared greatly, [ ] [and] [ Lk ] glorified God, [Mt Mk Lk ] saying, Truly this [ Mk ] man [Mt Mk Lk ] was [ Lk ] a righteous man, [Mt Mk ] the Son of God. Luk_23:48 [ Lk ] And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. |
