Roman soldiers were tasked with maintaining order and ensuring the execution was carried out. The presence of the centurion and his men highlights the Roman involvement in Jesus' death, fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah being "pierced" ( Zechariah 12:10). The centurion's role underscores the historical reality of Roman occupation in Judea during this period. saw the earthquake and all that had happened The earthquake is a significant event, symbolizing divine intervention and the cosmic impact of Jesus' death. Earthquakes in biblical times often signified God's presence or judgment (Exodus 19:18,1 Kings 19:11). The events surrounding the crucifixion, including darkness and the tearing of the temple veil (Matthew 27:51), indicate the profound spiritual significance of Jesus' sacrifice. These occurrences fulfill Old Testament prophecies and typologies, such as the suffering servant inIsaiah 53. they were terrified The fear experienced by the centurion and his men reflects a recognition of the supernatural nature of the events. In the ancient world, fear was a common response to divine manifestations. This reaction suggests an acknowledgment of a power greater than Rome, challenging their understanding of authority and divinity. The terror also aligns with the biblical theme of the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.” This declaration is profound, as it comes from a Roman centurion, a Gentile, acknowledging Jesus' divine identity. The title "Son of God" is central to Christian theology, affirming Jesus' unique relationship with the Father and His divine nature. This confession echoes Peter's earlier declaration (Matthew 16:16) and fulfills the messianic expectation of a divine savior. The centurion's statement signifies the breaking of barriers between Jew and Gentile, foreshadowing the spread of the Gospel to all nations (Matthew 28:19). Persons / Places / Events 1.

14.Why does Matthew mention an earthquake and resurrected saints, yet no other source does?What Does Matthew 27:54 Mean When the centurion and those with himThe spotlight falls first on a Roman officer—someone trained in discipline, pagan religion, and loyalty to Caesar. He is not alone; “those with him” share in the scene. Together they represent the Gentile world looking on. • Earlier, soldiers had mocked Jesus (Matthew 27:27-31). Now one of their leaders is about to testify to Him. • Mark’s parallel notes, “When the centurion, who stood facing Him, saw how He breathed His last, he said, ‘Truly this man was the Son of God’” (Mark 15:39), reinforcing that multiple witnesses reached the same conclusion. • Luke mentions the centurion “glorified God” (Luke 23:47), showing that this insight was more than curiosity—it was worship. who were guarding JesusThese men had one job: keep the condemned secure until death. They were eyewitnesses from start to finish. • Matthew had already said, “And sitting down, they kept watch over Him there” (Matthew 27:36). Their vigilance removes any doubt about what they saw. • The same guard detail later secures the tomb (Matthew 27:62-66), placing them at every crucial moment. Their eventual report (Matthew 28:11-15) underlines how their testimony matters. saw the earthquake and all that had happenedCreation itself reacted. The earth shook; rocks split; graves opened (Matthew 27:51-53). • Earthquakes in Scripture often mark God’s direct intervention—Sinai (Exodus 19:18), Elijah’s cave (1 Kings 19:11-12), Paul and Silas in Philippi (Acts 16:26). • “All that had happened” includes the darkness (Matthew 27:45) and Jesus’ loud cry committing His spirit to the Father (Luke 23:46). These signs pile up to confirm that this death is no ordinary execution. they were terrifiedThe military men who feared nothing on the battlefield tremble before divine power. • Terror strikes whenever humans realize God’s holiness—think of the shepherds at Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:9) or Isaiah’s vision (Isaiah 6:5). • Revelation pictures people crying for rocks to hide them from “the face of Him who sits on the throne” (Revelation 6:16). The centurion’s dread mirrors that moment. and said, “Truly this was the Son of God.”Their fear turns into a confession. • Earlier, the disciples in the boat worshiped Jesus, saying identical words: “Truly You are the Son of God” (Matthew 14:33). The centurion echoes their faith. • The title fulfills prophetic claims (Psalm 2:7) and matches the Father’s own declaration at Jesus’ baptism (Matthew 3:17). • John reminds believers, “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him” (1 John 4:15). This Roman officer unknowingly models saving faith. summaryMatthew 27:54 shows hardened soldiers becoming astonished witnesses. Their steady watch, the cosmic signs, and the earthquake combine to shatter unbelief and draw a clear confession: Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be—God’s Son. The verse stands as a powerful reminder that Christ’s death was not defeat but revelation, convincing even those farthest from faith that the crucified One is truly divine. (54) Truly this was the Son of God.--St. Luke's report softens down the witness thus borne into "Truly this Man was righteous." As reported by St. Matthew and St. Mark ( Mark 15:39), the words probably meant little more than that. We must interpret them from the stand-point of the centurion's knowledge, not from that of Christian faith, and to him the words "Son of God" would convey the idea of one who was God-like in those elements of character which are most divine--righteousness, and holiness, and love. The form of expression was naturally determined by the words which he had heard bandied to and fro as a taunt ( Matthew 27:43); and the centurion felt that the words, as he understood them, were true, and not false, of the Sufferer whose death he had witnessed. That the words might have such a sense in the lips even of a devout Jew, we find in the language of a book probably contemporary, and possibly written with some remote reference to our Lord's death--the so-called Wisdom of Solomon (Wisd. ii. 13, 16-18). In the last of these verses, it will be noted, the terms "just man" and "son of God" appear as interchangeable. Verse 54. - The centurion, and they that were with him. The officer with the small body of soldiers appointed to perform and take charge of the Crucifixion. St. Matthew relates the impression which these events made upon the soldiers' minds. Saw those things that were done. Instead of this reading, which has high authority, Alford, Tischendorf, Westcott and Hort read, "that were being done," as the Vulgate, quae fiebant. This would point especially to the loud cry, in accordance with the words of St. Mark, "saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost." But there is no sufficient reason for altering the Received Text; and plainly it was not merely the closing incident that affected the soldiers, but the whole course of events which they witnessed. They saw the darkness, the earthquake, the rending of the rocks, the Divine meekness of the Sufferer; they heard his last words, his loud cry, and marked his patient death. All these things contributed to their awe and fear. They feared greatly. This crucified Man must be something more than human, for all these wonders to accompany his death: will he not visit upon us our part in his crucifixion? Have we nothing to fear from his vengeance? Some such course their apprehensions may have taken. But they learned something beyond selfish dread of possible danger. Truly this was the Son ( Υιὸς, anarthrous, Son) of God; or, according to St. Luke, "Certainly this was a righteous Man." They recognized his innocence, and acknowledged that he suffered unjustly. What the centurion meant (for the words appear to have been his) by calling him "Son of God" is more doubtful. It may have been on his lips merely an affirmation that Jesus was holy and beloved by God; but more probably it meant much more than this. He knew that Christ claimed to be the Son of God, and in this hour of overwhelming awe he felt that the claim was just, whatever it might mean. This crucified Person was at least a hero or a demigod, or that which the words would imply in a Jewish sense, though he knew only imperfectly what was signified thereby. Tradition affirms that the centurion's name was Longinus, that he became a devoted follower of Christ, preached the faith, and died a martyr's death.
