The loud cry signifies both physical agony and a profound spiritual declaration. In the context of the crucifixion, this cry is a fulfillment of <a href="/psalms/22.htm">Psalm 22:1</a>, which begins with "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This psalm is a prophetic depiction of the suffering Messiah. The loud voice also demonstrates Jesus' control over His own life and death, as He chooses the moment to release His spirit. Historically, crucifixion was designed to be a slow, torturous death, often resulting in victims dying from asphyxiation. Jesus' ability to cry out loudly at this point indicates His strength and the voluntary nature of His sacrifice.<p><b>He yielded up His spirit</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the voluntary nature of Jesus' death. Unlike other victims of crucifixion, Jesus actively surrenders His life, fulfilling His own words in <a href="/john/10-18.htm">John 10:18</a>, "No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord." The term "yielded" suggests a willing submission to the Father's will, completing His earthly mission. This act is the culmination of His obedience, as prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/53-12.htm">Isaiah 53:12</a>, where the suffering servant "poured out his life unto death." Theologically, this moment signifies the completion of the atonement, as Jesus' death pays the penalty for sin, reconciling humanity with God. The yielding of His spirit also marks the transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, as symbolized by the tearing of the temple veil immediately following His death (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>), granting believers direct access to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The central figure of this passage, Jesus is the Son of God who is crucified for the sins of humanity.

Simple exhaustion as the consequence of the long vigil, the agony in the garden, the mocking and the scourging, would be, perhaps, almost as natural an explanation.<p><span class= "bld">Yielded up the ghost.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">yielded up His spirit.</span> All four Evangelists agree in using this or some like expression, instead of the simpler form, "He died." It is as though they dwelt on the act as, in some sense, voluntary, and connected it with the words in which He had commended His spirit to the Father (<a href="/luke/23-46.htm" title="And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.">Luke 23:46</a>).<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/27.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 50.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">When he had cried again.</span> He had cried aloud once before (ver. 46). But he does not repeat the former words; the horror of great darkness was past. Probably the cry here resolved itself into the words recorded by St. Luke, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." <span class="cmt_word">With a loud voice.</span> This loud cry at the moment of death proved that he laid down his life voluntarily; no man could take it from him (<a href="/john/10-17.htm">John 10:17, 18</a>); he himself willed to die; and this preternatural voice proceeded from one who died not altogether from physical exhaustion, but from determined purpose. <span class="cmt_word">Yielded up the ghost</span> (<span class="greek_word">a)fh = ke to\ pneu = ma</span>); literally, <span class="accented">dismissed his spirit</span>; <span class="accented">emisit spiritum</span>). The phrase has been interpreted to signify that Christ exerted his power to anticipate the actual moment of dissolution; but there is no necessity of importing this idea into the expression. It is used ordinarily to denote the act of dying, as we say, "He expired." Perhaps the exertion of uttering this great cry ruptured some organ of the body. We know from the effect of the piercing of his side that his sacred heart was previously broken; and thus he verily and really died upon the cross. He, being in the form of God, and equal with God, became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, suffered death forevery man. It is to be noted that the death of Christ occurred at 3 p.m., the very time when the Paschal lambs began to be slain in the temple courts. Thus the long prepared type was at last fulfilled, when "Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/matthew/27-50.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">When</span><br /><span class="grk">δὲ</span> <span class="translit">(de)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> </span><span class="str2">A primary particle; but, and, etc.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jesus</span><br /><span class="grk">Ἰησοῦς</span> <span class="translit">(Iēsous)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2424.htm">Strong's 2424: </a> </span><span class="str2">Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites.</span><br /><br /><span class="word">had cried out</span><br /><span class="grk">κράξας</span> <span class="translit">(kraxas)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2896.htm">Strong's 2896: </a> </span><span class="str2">To cry aloud, shriek.
