50: ο δε ιησους παλιν
κραξας φωνη μεγαλη αφηκεν το πνευμα
50: Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice,
yielded up the ghost.
50: And Jesus again crying
with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Cried again with a loud voice. He cried, "It is finished," Jn 19:30. It was in the height of his agony, probably attended with deep groaning, and uttered amidst sorrows which were never else experienced in our world. It finished the work of atonement; made the way of salvation possible; rolled away the curse from guilty men; and opened the kingdom of heaven to all true believers.
Yielded up the ghost. This, though a literal translation, is unhappy. It means, resigned his spirit, or expired. The same phrase is used by the Seventy in describing the death of Rachel, Gen 35:18.
