Yielding Up the Ghost
Matthew 27:50-53
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.…


It does not appear that the special agonies which the Saviour's mental sufferings created produced death prematurely; for there does not seem to have been a paroxysm producing convulsion, nor does death appear to have been the effect of mere exhaustion: the calm which succeeded the sufferer's exclamation under Divine forsakings forbids are former conclusion; the vigour of His dying shout forbids the latter.

(John Ely.)
