Notes and references

Lit failing. The language that Luke uses is found elsewhere in Greek literature to describe an eclipse.
The tearing of the veil established the institution of a new, direct way of communication between God and mankind. The sacrificial death of Christ nullified the need for priestly intervention between God and man, and abolished the need for animal sacrifice.
