MATTHEW 27:50 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.”
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. The loud voice of the death cry — not the fading silence of the exhausted — and the yielded up his spirit: the Greek aphiemi (to send away, to release) communicates the active, voluntary character of the death. Jesus does not have his spirit taken; he releases it. John 19:30 records the word: it is finished.
