• CTD025 The veil of the temple?

    This article discusses the alleged contradiction concerning the timing of Jesus' death and the tearing of the Temple curtain. The authors of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke do not aim at precise chronology but symbolically emphasise the opening of access to the divine presence.

    Mark 15.37-38 (King James Version) :
    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.
