The Veil, the Darkness, and the Order of Events at the Crucifixion - Spearnet

In the final moments of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, the Gospel writers record a series of extraordinary events: a supernatural darkness covering the land, the tearing of the temple veil, a great earthquake, and the reactions of witnesses, such as the centurion. Critics often point to the variation in how these events are presented, particularly between Matthew 27, Mark 15, and Luke 23, and suggest that the accounts are contradictory.
