Eyewitness John the Apostle described in Greek Jesus' final words and what happened next when He expired on the cross, at John 19:30. But how to translate those two brief, all-important sentences into English is not obvious. Here are some examples:
:When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.<ref>NIV [http://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=joh+19:30&version=niv&st=1&sd=1&new=1&showtools=1NIV]</ref>
:When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.<ref>KJV [http://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=John+19%3A30&section=0&version=kjv&new=1&showtools=1&oq=&NavBook=joh&NavGo=19&NavCurrentChapter=19KJV]</ref>
:Jesus therefore, when he had taken the vinegar, said: It is consummated. And bowing his head, he gave up the ghost.<ref>Douay-Rheims [http://bible1.crosswalk.com/OnlineStudyBible/bible.cgi?word=John+19%3A30&section=0&version=rhe&new=1&showtools=1&oq=&NavBook=joh&NavGo=19&NavCurrentChapter=19Douay-Rheims]</ref>
A modern discovery of the commercial use of the Greek term attributed to Jesus describe its meaning as "paid in full" (i.e., paying the debt incurred by sin in full) rather than "it is finished."<ref>http://www.yale.edu/ygcf/christianity.html</ref>
Jesus' death on the cross fulfills [[Old Testament]] Prophecy:
:*Psalm 22:1, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?..." <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2022:1&version=31</ref>
:*Isaiah 53:4-5, " 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. <ref>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2053:4-5&version=31</ref>
