Heb. 9:11‑14,22‑28• ¹¹But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand,
¹²nor by blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, has entered in once for all into the holy of holies, having found an eternal redemption.
¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls, and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies for the purity of the flesh,
¹⁴how much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who by the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works to worship the living God?
²²and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no remission.
²³It was necessary then that the figurative representations of the things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with sacrifices better than these.
²⁴For the Christ is not entered into holy places made with hand, figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us:
²⁵nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;
²⁶since he had then been obliged often to suffer from the foundation of the world. But now once in the consummation of the ages he has been manifested for the putting away of sin by his sacrifice.
²⁷And forasmuch as it is the portion of men once to die, and after this judgment;
²⁸thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time without sin for salvation. (Heb. 9:11‑14,22‑28)

Heb. 10:1‑14• ¹For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach.
²Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins?
³But in these there is a calling to mind of sins yearly.
⁴For blood of bulls and goats is incapable of taking away sins.
⁵Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.
⁶Thou tookest no pleasure in burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin.
⁷Then I said, Lo, I come (in the roll of the book it is written of me) to do, O God, thy will.
⁸Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (which are offered according to the law);
⁹then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second;
¹⁰by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
¹¹And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
¹²But *he*, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at the right hand of God,
¹³waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set for the footstool of his feet.
¹⁴For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified. (Heb. 10:1‑14)

• Of none but Jesus, is it or could it be said that he gave up, παρέδωκεν, the ghost; which is wholly distinct from the expired, ἐξέπνευσεν, of Mark and Luke (“Notes on John 19:1-30” by W. Kelly)

• It was reserved for John to set forth His death who was God not less surely than man, and as such. The Creator but man lifted up from the earth could say, in dying for sin to God's glory, It is finished. The work, the infinite work, was done for the putting away of sin by His sacrifice. (“Notes on John 19:31-42” by W. Kelly)

• In John, the Holy Spirit is setting forth even His death as the result of a voluntary act, giving up His spirit, and not saying to whom He committed (as man with absolute and perfect faith) His human spirit, His soul, in dying. It is His divine competency that is here shown, and not His trust in His Father. (“John 19” by J.N. Darby)

• In John He says, “It is finished,” because He is the Son, by whom all worlds were made. Who but He could say it? Who but John could mention that He delivered up (παρέδωκε) His spirit? (“John 19” by W. Kelly)

• Of none but Jesus is it or could it be said that He gave up (παρέδωκεν) the spirit, which is wholly distinct from the “expired” (ὲξέπνευσεν) of Mark and Luke, confounded with the former by our translators. To expire could apply to anyone’s death, the blessed Lord being man as truly as any other; to give the spirit up, as said in John, expresses His Divine glory though a dying man, as the One who had title to lay down His life no less than to take it again. So Matthew implies who the dying Messiah was in “He dismissed the spirit” (ἃφῆκε τὸ πν). Nor can words be more characteristic of Luke than “Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit,” nor of John than “It is finished.” He was man, though God; He was God though man; and both in one Person. (“John 19” by W. Kelly)

• “It is finished.” The work, the infinite work, was done for the putting away of sin by His sacrifice. Thereon hangs not only the blessing of every soul that is to be justified by faith, but of new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. “It is finished,” τετέλεσται: one word! yet what word ever contained so much? (“John 19” by W. Kelly)

He gave up (paredōken) the "spirit" is wholly distinct from the "expired" (exepneusen) of Mark and Luke. To expire could apply to anyone’s death, to give the spirit up expresses His divine glory though a dying man, as the One Who had title to lay down His life no less than to take it again.
