What does the Bible say about the centurion's confession?

Answered in 2 sources

The centurion confessed Jesus as the righteous man and the Son of God after witnessing His crucifixion.

In Luke 23:47, the Roman centurion, witnessing the events surrounding Christ's crucifixion, glorified God and declared, 'Certainly this was a righteous man.' This confession indicates a recognition of Jesus's divine righteousness and identity as the Son of God. The centurion's statement reflects a miraculous revelation of God’s truth, showing how even those initially distant from the faith can encounter the reality of Christ through His suffering and the accompanying cosmic signs, such as the earthquake and darkness.
