When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said,
It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed His head, and gave up the ghost. All the suffering, and all the mysteries which the Father decreed from all eternity that I should suffer and carry out, as He ordered from My very birth, and willed, moreover, that the prophets should foretell concerning Me. There remains only the final issue of death, to complete My course of suffering, to expiate thereby the penalty of death, which Adam incurred by sin, and to restore mankind to life. I therefore embrace it, and resign My spirit into the hands of My Father. (Matt. xxvii48 , seq.)
Christ spake seven words on the cross, three recorded by S. John , the four others by the other Evangelists.
