This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Father (Pater). Jesus dies with the words of Psa 31:5 on his lips.
Gave up the ghost (exepneusen). First aorist active indicative of ekpneō, to breathe out, to expire, old word, but in the N.T. only here and Mar 15:37, Mar 15:39. There is no special reason for retaining “ghost” in the English as both Mat 27:50 (yielded up his spirit, aphēken to pneuma) and Joh 19:30 (gave up his spirit, paredōken to pneuma) use pneuma which is the root of ekpneō, the verb in Mark and Luke.
