 Now when the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly saying, truly this was the Son of God. Here's Jesus on the cross. He's hanging there on the cross and the centurion who is most likely part of this whole process of crucifying him. And the centurion is watching all this and he sees the earthquake. He sees the darkness fall and he sees all this happening. He says, this was the Son of God.
