Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.

Luke 23:45-46 puts the tearing of the temple veil before Jesus dies: the sun darkens, the veil rips, and then Jesus commends his spirit and gives up the ghost. Matthew 27:50-51 and Mark 15:37-38 reverse the sequence: Jesus cries out and dies first, and then the veil tears.
