John Gill
Jesus, when he had cried again,.... "A second time", as the Persic version; for he had cried once before, and expressed the words he did, as in Matthew 27:46, what he now delivered were, "Father, into thy hands I commend my Spirit", Lu 23:46, and "it is finished", John 19:30, which he said with a loud voice; which showed the vehemency of his affection, his strong confidence in God, and his being...
Matthew Henry
It is a very affecting story which is recorded in this chapter concerning the sufferings and death of our Lord Jesus. Considering the thing itself, there cannot be a more tragical story told us; common humanity would melt the heart, to find an innocent and excellent person thus misused. But considering the design and fruit of Christ's sufferings, it is gospel, it is good news, that Jesus Christ...

Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. You know what he said when he cried with a loud voice: “It is finished.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Christ’s strength was not exhausted; his last word was uttered with a loud voice, like the shout of a conquering warrior. And what a word it was, “It is finished”! Thousands of sermons have been preached upon that little sentence; but who can tell all the meaning that lies compacted within it? It is a kind of infinite...
