| It is finished! and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost--What is finished? The Law is fulfilled as never before, nor since, in His "obedience unto death, even the death of the cross"; Messianic prophecy is accomplished; Redemption is completed; "He hath finished the transgression, and made reconciliation for iniquity, and brought in everlasting righteousness, and sealed up the vision and prophecy, and anointed a holy of holies"; He has inaugurated the kingdom of God and given birth to a new world. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
It is finished
It is the Victor's cry. (Joh 4:34); (Joh 17:4); (Rom 10:4); (Gal 3:13); (Heb 10:5-10).
and gave up
delivered up his spirit.
(See Scofield) - (Mat 27:50). |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Gave up the ghost (παρέδωκε τὸ πνεῦμα)
Rev., his spirit. Matthew, ἀφῆκεν dismissed. Mark, ἐξέπνευσεν, breathed forth (his life). So Luke, who adds, "Father, into thy hands I commend (παρατίθεμαι, see on Luk 9:16) my spirit." |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| It is finished - My suffering: the purchase of man's redemption. He delivered up his spirit - To God, Mat 27:50. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
It is finished - As if he had said: "I have executed the great designs of the Almighty - I have satisfied the demands of his justice - I have accomplished all that was written in the prophets, and suffered the utmost malice of my enemies; and now the way to the holy of holies is made manifest through my blood." An awful, yet a glorious finish. Through this tragical death God is reconciled to man, and the kingdom of heaven opened to every believing soul.
"Shout heaven and earth, this Sum of good to Man!"
See the note on Mat 27:50.
The prodigies which happened at our Lord's death, and which are mentioned by the other three evangelists, are omitted by John, because he found the others had sufficiently stated them, and it appears he had nothing new to add. |
