Luke 23:46

23:46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” ¹  And after he said this he breathed his last.

John 14:3

14:3 And if I go and make ready ²  a place for you, I will come again and take you ³  to be with me, ⁴  so that where I am you may be too.

Acts 7:59

7:59 They ⁵  continued to stone Stephen while he prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

[23:46]  ¹ sn A quotation from Ps 31:5. It is a psalm of trust. The righteous, innocent sufferer trusts in God. Luke does not have the cry of pain from Ps 22:1 (cf. Matt 27:46; Mark 15:34), but notes Jesus’ trust instead.

[14:3]  ² tn Or “prepare.”

[14:3]  ³ tn Or “bring you.”

[14:3]  ⁴ tn Grk “to myself.”

[7:59]  ⁵ tn Grk “And they.” Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences, καί (kai) has not been translated here; a new sentence is begun instead.
