This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 27:36. Ἐτήρουν, they watched) cf. Mat 27:65.[1195]
[1195] The crucifixion and the parting of the garments took place about the third hour; the tumult, therefore, having for the most part passed away, they who acted as guards to our Saviour had sufficient time to consider what was the real nature of the matter. Prodigies, however, at length occurred, by which those men were brought to other [and better] thoughts. See verse 54.-B. H. E., p. 565.
