“And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. (vs. 45) And the sun was darkened and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.”
a. The religious leaders thought they had rid themselves of Jesus.
b. The Adversary must have thought he had killed the Son of God, and won the victory that he has always sought for to exalt himself above God.
