φωνὴν μεγάλην : a second great voice uttered by Jesus (vide Mark 15:34), the fact indicated in Mt. by the word πάλιν. At this point would come in John's τετέλεσται. (John 19:30). ἐξέπνευσεν, breathed out His life, expired; aorist, the main fact, to which the incident of the drink (ἐπότιζεν, imperfect) is subordinate; used absolutely, here (and in Luke 23:46), as often in the classics. Bengel remarks: “spirare conducit corpori, exspirare spiritui”.
