When Jesus had cried out again
The phrase "cried out again" indicates a repeated action, emphasizing the intensity and significance of Jesus' final moments. The Greek word used here is "ἀνακράζω" (anakrazo), which means to cry out or shout aloud. This cry is not one of defeat but of fulfillment and completion. It reflects the culmination of His earthly mission and the fulfillment of prophecy. Historically, this moment is pivotal, as it signifies the completion of the sacrificial act that Jesus came to perform. The cry is a declaration of victory over sin and death, echoing the prophetic words of Psalm 22, which begins with a cry of anguish but ends in triumph.

in a loud voice
The "loud voice" signifies strength and authority, even in the face of death. The Greek word "φωνῇ μεγάλῃ" (phone megale) conveys a powerful, commanding presence. This is not a whimper of defeat but a proclamation of divine authority. In the context of Roman crucifixion, victims would typically succumb to exhaustion and asphyxiation, making it difficult to speak, let alone cry out loudly. Jesus' ability to do so underscores His control over the situation and His voluntary sacrifice. It is a testament to His divine nature and the fulfillment of His mission.

He yielded up His spirit
The phrase "yielded up His spirit" is profound in its simplicity. The Greek word "ἀφίημι" (aphiemi) means to let go or send away. This indicates that Jesus' death was not taken from Him; rather, He willingly surrendered His life. This voluntary act is central to Christian theology, emphasizing that Jesus laid down His life of His own accord, as He stated in John 10:18. Theologically, this moment marks the completion of the atonement, where Jesus, the sinless Lamb of God, offers Himself as the ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins. It is a moment of profound love and obedience to the Father's will, fulfilling the divine plan of salvation.

(50) When he had cried again with a loud voice.--It is well that we should remember what the words were which immediately preceded the last death cry; the "It is finished" of John 19:30, the "Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit" of Luke 23:46, expressing as they did, the fulness of peace and trust, the sense of a completed work.

It was seldom that crucifixion, as a punishment, ended so rapidly as it did here, and those who have discussed, what is hardly perhaps a fit subject for discussion, the physical causes of our Lord's death, have ascribed it accordingly, especially in connection with the fact recorded in John 19:34, and with the "loud cry," indicating the pangs of an intolerable anguish, to a rupture of the vessels of the heart. 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.

Yielded up the ghost.--Better, yielded up His spirit. 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 (Luke 23:46).

Verse 50. - When he had cried again. 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." With a loud voice. This loud cry at the moment of death proved that he laid down his life voluntarily; no man could take it from him (John 10:17, 18); he himself willed to die; and this preternatural voice proceeded from one who died not altogether from physical exhaustion, but from determined purpose. Yielded up the ghost (a)fh = ke to\ pneu = ma); literally, dismissed his spirit; emisit spiritum). 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."
