23:45 the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple: One curtain separated the Temple courtyard from the Holy Place, and another separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Luke does not say which was torn down the middle, but it was probably the latter—Jesus’ death put an end to the sacrificial system of the Temple and opened a new and permanent way into the presence of God (see Heb 10:19-20).
