Matthew 27:54
This statement is made by the centurion and his soldiers at the moment of Jesus' death, and it’s a key moment in the Gospel narrative. After witnessing the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion, the centurion acknowledges Jesus’ innocence, character, and divinity.
Biblical Passage: Matthew 27:54 (KJV)
"Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God."
In some translations, this phrase is rendered as "Truly this was a just man" or "righteous man," which conveys the centurion's recognition of Jesus' innocence and divine nature.
Dalí’s Interpretation in Sacra Biblia
In Dalí’s surrealistic portrayal, the centurion’s declaration would serve as a pivotal moment of divine recognition. Dalí would likely emphasize the cosmic significance of Jesus’ death through distorted landscapes, abstract figures, and the play of light. The centurion's shift from a Roman soldier to a man of faith would be captured through a surreal transformation in his figure, while the earthquake and other supernatural phenomena would reinforce the divine truth being revealed. The cross and light would symbolize the justice and divinity of Jesus, whose innocence was finally recognized by this outsider.
