• Of none but Jesus, is it or could it be said that he gave up, παρέδωκεν, the ghost; which is wholly distinct from the expired, ἐξέπνευσεν, of Mark and Luke (“Notes on John 19:1-30” by W. Kelly)

• It was reserved for John to set forth His death who was God not less surely than man, and as such. The Creator but man lifted up from the earth could say, in dying for sin to God's glory, It is finished. The work, the infinite work, was done for the putting away of sin by His sacrifice. (“Notes on John 19:31-42” by W. Kelly)

• In John, the Holy Spirit is setting forth even His death as the result of a voluntary act, giving up His spirit, and not saying to whom He committed (as man with absolute and perfect faith) His human spirit, His soul, in dying. It is His divine competency that is here shown, and not His trust in His Father. (“John 19” by J.N. Darby)

• In John He says, “It is finished,” because He is the Son, by whom all worlds were made. Who but He could say it? Who but John could mention that He delivered up (παρέδωκε) His spirit? (“John 19” by W. Kelly)

• Of none but Jesus is it or could it be said that He gave up (παρέδωκεν) the spirit, which is wholly distinct from the “expired” (ὲξέπνευσεν) of Mark and Luke, confounded with the former by our translators. To expire could apply to anyone’s death, the blessed Lord being man as truly as any other; to give the spirit up, as said in John, expresses His Divine glory though a dying man, as the One who had title to lay down His life no less than to take it again. So Matthew implies who the dying Messiah was in “He dismissed the spirit” (ἃφῆκε τὸ πν). Nor can words be more characteristic of Luke than “Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit,” nor of John than “It is finished.” He was man, though God; He was God though man; and both in one Person. (“John 19” by W. Kelly)

• “It is finished.” The work, the infinite work, was done for the putting away of sin by His sacrifice. Thereon hangs not only the blessing of every soul that is to be justified by faith, but of new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. “It is finished,” τετέλεσται: one word! yet what word ever contained so much? (“John 19” by W. Kelly)

He gave up (paredōken) the "spirit" is wholly distinct from the "expired" (exepneusen) of Mark and Luke. To expire could apply to anyone’s death, to give the spirit up expresses His divine glory though a dying man, as the One Who had title to lay down His life no less than to take it again.
