 Two of the Gospels, Matthew and Mark, tell us that Jesus said these words in a loud voice. Now, I imagine it was difficult, terrible, hard work for him to do that, but he said it in a loud voice. This wasn't a whimper of defeat. It was a cry of a conqueror. It was a shout of victory. This was a word of triumph. Tetelestai! It is finished. Go back to verse 28 a minute.
