34About three o'clock in the afternoon, Jesus yelled out, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forgotten about me?" 35When some people standing around heard him, they said, "Listen! Jesus is calling out for Elijah!"
36Then someone lifted up a sponge soaked with vinegar and gave it to Jesus. Others said, "Leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah does somehow come riding up to save him."
37Jesus looked up and cried out with a loud voice and let out his last breath.
38In the main church, there was a thick curtain that separated God's holy place from the rest of the building. When Jesus died, this curtain was torn in two from the top to the bottom. No longer would God be separated from his people.

Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
the centurion: The centurion was a military captain, and commander of a century, or 100 men. In order to have a proper notion of his office, it may be desirable to explain the construction and array of the Roman legion. Each legion was divided into ten cohorts, each cohort into three maniples, and each maniple into two centuries; so that there were thirty maniples, and sixty centuries in a legion, which, if the century had always, as the word imports, consisted of 100 soldiers, would have formed a combined phalanx of 6,000 men. The number in a legion, however, varied at different periods; in the time of Polybius it was 4,200. The order of battle was that of three lines; the hastati, or spearmen, occupied the front; the principes, the second line; the triarii (also called pilani from their weapon, the pilam) the third. The centurions were appointed by the tribunes, and generally selected from the common soldiers according to their merit; although the office was sometimes obtained for money, or through the favour of the consuls. Their badge was a vine rod, or sapling. Mark 15:44, Matthew 8:5-10, Acts 10:1, Acts 27:1-3, Acts 27:43

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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,
Matthew 27:54- :.
