Luke 23:48 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. And all the people - All were deeply affected except the priests, and those whom they had employed to serve their base purposes. The darkness, earthquake, etc., had brought terror and consternation into every heart. How dreadful is the state of those who, in consequence of their long opposition to the grace and truth of God, are at last given up to a reprobate mind!
