This is what my Redeemer said in the Greek language of the day.
kai
phōnēsas φωνήσας φωνῇ
μεγάλῃ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν
Πάτερ εἰς χεῖράς σου
παρατίθεμαι τὸ πνεῦμά
μου τοῦτο δὲ εἰπὼν
ἐξέπνευσεν Luke 23:46
"Jesus called out with a loud voice, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' When he had said this, he breathed his last.'" Luke 23:46
My Redeemer reminded me that His servant David proclaimed this prophesy 1000 years before now which is 1 of 300 prophecies of His first visit to planet earth:
"Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, Lord, my faithful God."
Psalm 31
At this time I was a bit confused. My Redeemer said He was releasing His Spirit into the care of His Father. My thought was how did He do this if His Father and Him were one and the same as remember Him saying, "I and my Father are One!
Then my Redeemer reminded me of what Paul would say to his bros in Colossae:
"My Redeemer is the Son and He is the image of the invisible God, the first in preeminence over all creation. For in Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things exist and hold together."
Colossians 1:15-17
It was similar to Caesar's stamp on the coins of the day.
