::::*IMO the witnesses thought that the veil teared at the same moment. This could have been the very moment Jesus Christ "''cried out again in a loud voice and breathed his last''" or - given the distance - a couple of seconds later. I don't know which amount of time God took for this task: after all, he created the world in six days when he was able to do so in a single moment.

:::::"ἰδού" adds emphasis, just as the archaic "behold" did ... centuries ago. Saying or implying that the veil tore later would detract from the obvious purpose and meaning of the verse. "Suddenly" would convey a meaning different from the intent, as though there were some new, intervening force.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:46, 7 September 2012 (EDT)
