A:The centurion is said to have exclaimed, "Truly this man was the Son of God," although perhaps sarcastically, when Jesus died (Mark 15:39). In Mark's Gospel, Jesus referred to himself as the Son of Man, and Peter called him the Christ ('anointed one'). To have called Jesus the Son of God might have been considered blasphemous when Mark was written, but the demons and the centurion, as outsiders, could call do so because their statements would not bring the Christian community into disrepute. Perhaps fifteen years later, Matthew's Gospel could use the term Son of God quite freely and sarcasm was no longer evident in the centurion's statement.
