The Jewish historian, Josephus, would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. He say (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), "It was a Babylonian curtain, embroidered with blue, and fine linen, and scarlet, and purple, and of a contexture that was truly wonderful. Nor was this mixture of colors without its mystical interpretation, but was a kind of image of the universe; for by the scarlet there seemed to be enigmatically signified fire, by the fine flax the earth, by the blue the air, and by the purple the sea; two of them having their colors the foundation of this resemblance; but the fine flax and the purple have their own origin for that foundation, the earth producing the one, and the sea the other. This curtain had also embroidered upon it all that was mystical in the heavens, excepting that of the [twelve] signs, representing living creatures."
There is no mention of the damage supposed to have occurred to the veil when Jesus was crucified.

How did Luke know that the temple veil was torn?
Scholars say that Luke's Gospel was substantially copied from Mark's Gospel, so the author discovered this from Mark We can not say where the author of Mark obtained this information, especially as the temple veil was not visible from outside the temple and certainly not from the crucifixion site. This raises the question of whether the veil, or curtain, was really torn. The Jewish historian, Josephus, was also a priest and would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE. His description of it makes no mention of the damage supposed to have occurred to the veil when Jesus was crucified.Josephus says (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), "It was a Babylonian curtain, embroidered with blue, and fine linen, and scarlet, and purple, and of a contexture that was truly wonderful.
