irateplatypus' observations are right on the money, I would think.
all I can add would be to further flesh out the tearing of the garments-
Jesus claimed to be the I AM in the presence of the High Priest which was blasphemy according to the Judaic cusom and punishable by death. Furthermore, the utterance of such blasphemy in the presence of the High Priest was of such profundity, that his only reaction was to tear his garments in response to so great an insult to God. When the others in the room saw the response of the High Priest, they knew unequivovcably what he had heard Jesus say.

Psalm 22 is a remarkable piece in that it was written by King David long before the advent of crucifixion, yet it describes everything that Jesus went through while He hung upon the cross, including His garments being gambled for and the remarks made by the crowd. Irateplatypus' statement that Jesus had not before known the consequence for sin was very clear, and when the time came, G*d placed upon Jesus All the sins of all people for all time: from the very first sins of Adam and Eve to the very last sins ever committed before His return and the Judgement Throne, and Jesus was become SO filthy at that point that He was seperated from His Father. It was not G*d who had forsaken Jesus, but Jesus who could not feel G*d because of all the sin that had come between them. And when Jesus had born the entirety of the weight and burden and penalty of that horrible seperation, He declared that all the sin was then upon Him and He Declared that It was finished and He died in that sin to pay the price.
As we all know, death cannot hold a man who has done no wrong. None of those sins were His own and so on the third day, He arose.
But that part is for another thread.
