Luke 23:45

And fthe sun was darkened, gand the *veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

καὶ ἐσκοτίσθη ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ ἐσχίσθη τὸ καταπέτασμα τοῦ ναοῦ μέσον.

Textual key: ‘And the sun was darkened’ is changed to ‘the sun being obscured’, ‘eclipsed’ or ‘failing’, or a marginal reading is given to add this naturalistic effect.
