Matthew 27:50

The Temple Curtain Torn

Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and released his spirit.

The verb *aphiēmi* means "to release" or "let go" — rendered here as "released" rather than the conventional "gave up" or "yielded," preserving the active, intentional force of the word. *Pneuma* is translated "spirit" in keeping with the source text. The clause is direct and unadorned, as in the Greek.
