The mob hysteria which shouted for His blood swirls about the victim Who is Himself unmoved. He forgives them and prays for them. The Gospels here are marvels of objective reporting. What was said and done is recorded without comment or opinion. The centurion in charge of the detail officially declares that the prisoner is dead.
Assurance is made doubly sure by the stroke of a lance into the dead man's side.
Pilate is informed, expresses surprise that it is over so quickly and gives permission for the body to be buried. The Scribes and Pharisees secure permission for a guard of soldiers to watch the tomb lest the body be stolen, and claim be made that He had arisen. And there the matter should have ended, a nine days' wonder with the usual ending. The Gospels record then that those who went to the tomb on the third day, Sunday, found the tomb empty. Subsequently Christ appears in different times and different places.
