Mark 15:39 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 15:39

And when the centurion, which stood over against him
To watch him, that nobody released him, and that he did not come down from the cross himself;

saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost;
that he cried with so loud and strong a voice, and the next moment expired:

he said, truly this man was the Son of God;
and so said the rest of the soldiers that were with them, as appears from ( Matthew 27:54 ) , (See Gill on Matthew 27:54).
