What does the Bible say about Jesus' last words on the cross?

Answered in 3 sources

Jesus' last words on the cross were, 'Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit' (Luke 23:46), signifying his trust and submission to the Father.

In Luke 23:46, Jesus uttered his final words, 'Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.' This profound statement encapsulates the depth of his relationship with the Father and illustrates his complete submission to God's will. It signals the moment when Christ relinquished his physical life, assured of his place in the Father's presence. The phrase implies both trust and fulfillment, marking the completion of his sacrificial mission, culminating in his atoning death for sinners. A.W. Pink refers to this saying as the 'word of contentment,' reflecting on Jesus' assurance that he was now returning to the Father's side, free from suffering and the forsakenness he endured.
