In the Gospel of Mark, who confessed Jesus as the Son of God at the moment of His death?

  1. The chief priest
  2. A centurion ✓
  3. Pontius Pilate
  4. The thieves crucified with Him

Explanation

The Roman centurion who oversaw Jesus’ crucifixion watched Him die and declared that Jesus was truly the Son of God. This was remarkable because the centurion was not Jewish.

He saw how Jesus acted during His suffering and death, including the darkness and earthquake. These events convinced him that Jesus was divine.

Even a Roman soldier recognized Jesus’ true identity when the religious leaders rejected Him.
