The spot where Jesus was crucified was quite a long distance away from the Temple, so it's not possible that anyone was a witness of both Jesus's death and the ripping of the curtain.

The inference is that since there were two different quotes, there were either two different centurions or a single centurion who said two different things. There's no reason to assume a contradiction.

Back when I was more active in updating this blog, I hoped for a lot more feedback and dialogue, but now that I've largely let it go, I don't care about it so much.

I'm genuinely surprised there isn't a big batch of comments commending you on your hard work. <br />I was raised as a Catholic, but became an atheist at the age of 12, the summer I read the Bible for myself.<br /> What I admire the most about all the hard work is your calm nature and kind heart throughout all your Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457249627606785683noreply@blogger.com
