LUKE 23:46 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.”
Jesus called out with a loud voice, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. When he had said this, he breathed his last — Father, into your hands I commit my spirit (Psalm 31:5): the third and final word from the cross in Luke — the prayer of complete trust. The loud voice communicates a death that is chosen rather than succumbed to. When he had said this, he breathed his last (exepneusen, breathed out): the voluntary release of the breath.
