Luke 23:47 · Douay-Rheims
“Now the centurion, seeing what was done, glorified God, saying: Indeed this was a just man.”
On this verse:
“(iv. de Trin. c. 13.) When after uttering that voice He immediately gave up the ghost, those who were present greatly marvelled. For those who hung upon the cross were generally tortured by a prolonged death. Hence it is said, Now when the centurion saw, &c.”
