And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Jesus called out with everything he had left: 'Father, I'm putting my spirit in your hands.' And with those words, he died.
Even in his final moment, Jesus trusted his Father completely.
