Context of Matthew 27:50

48One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink. 49But the rest said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.” Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit. 51At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, 52and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead.

Commentaries on Matthew 27:50

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 50Yielded up the ghost - , He dismissed the spirit. He himself willingly gave up that life which it was impossible for man to take away. It is not said that he hung on the cross till he died through pain and agony; nor is it said that his bones were broken, the sooner to put him out of pain, and to hasten his death; but that himself dismissed the soul, that he might thus become, not a forced sacrifice, but a free-will offering for sin. Now, as our English…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 50Cried again with a loud voice - He cried, “It is finished,” John 19:30. It was in the height of his agony, probably attended with deep groaning, and uttered amid sorrows which were never else experienced in our world. It finished the work of atonement, made the way of salvation possible, rolled away the curse from guilty people, and opened the kingdom of heaven to all true believers. Yielded up the ghost - This, though a literal translation, is unhappy…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 45-50Verses 45-50 During the three hours which the darkness continued, Jesus was in agony, wrestling with the powers of darkness, and suffering his Father's displeasure against the sin of man, for which he was now making his soul an offering. Never were there three such hours since the day God created man upon the earth, never such a dark and awful scene; it was the turning point of that great affair, man's redemption and salvation. Jesus uttered a complaint…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 50Each of the four gospels focuses on different parts of the final moments of Jesus. He yielded up His spirit: Jesus gave up his life willingly. This shows his authority, since he chose the moment of his own death (see also John 19:30). Jesus had cried out again (see Matthew 27:46): This final loud cry was the last prayer of Jesus (see Luke 23:46).Read the comment
