‏ Mark 15:39

 The centurion ( ο κεντυριων ). A Latin word (centurio) used also in verse 44 and here only in the N.T.

 Which stood by over against him ( ο παρεστηκως εξ εναντιας αυτου ). This description alone in Mark, picturing the centurion "watching Jesus" (Mt 27:54).

 So ( ουτως ). With the darkness and the earthquake. See on Mt 27:54 for discussion of "the Son of God," more probably "a Son of God."
