Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 15:37-38

"And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom." — Mark 15:37-38 (ASV)

And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

Even as the flesh of Christ, which is the veil of the Incarnate God, was torn, so now was the veil of mystery taken away. The temple in her sorrow tore her veil. The old ceremonial law passed away with this token of grief by the rending of the veil. It was a strong, I might say, a massive veil; it could not have been torn by any ordinary means; but when the hand of God takes hold upon the veil of Jewish types, it readily tears, and into the innermost mystery of the holy of holies we may gaze, indeed, and through it we may enter.
