Heb. 9:11‑14,22‑28• ¹¹But Christ having come high priest of the good things to come by the better and more perfect tabernacle, not handmade (that is, not of this creation),
¹²neither by blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, entered once for all into the holies, having found an everlasting redemption.
¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls and a heifer's ashes sprinkling the defiled sanctifieth for the purity of the flesh,
¹⁴by how 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 serve a living God?
²²and almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and apart from blood-shedding cometh no remission.
²³Necessity therefore [was] that the examples of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
²⁴For the Christ entered not into handmade holies, figures of the true, but into the heaven itself now to appear to the face of God for us;
²⁵neither that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holies yearly with blood not his own,
²⁶since he were bound often to suffer from [the] world's foundation. But now once on consummation of the ages he hath been manifested for putting away of sin by his sacrifice.
²⁷And forasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, and, after this, judgment;
²⁸so also the Christ, having been once offered to bear sins of many, shall appear a second time apart from sin to those that look for him unto 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 yearly continuously, perfect those that approach.
²Since would they not have ceased being offered on account of the worshippers once purified having no longer any conscience of sins?
³But in these [is] a calling to mind of sins yearly.
⁴For blood of bulls and goats [is] incapable of taking away sins.
⁵Wherefore entering into the world he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not, but a body thou preparedst for me:
⁶in whole burnt-offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hadst no pleasure.
⁷Then I said, Lo, I am come (in the book-roll it is written of me) to do thy will, O God.
⁸Above saying, Sacrifice and offering and whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not nor hadst pleasure in (the which are offered according to the law),
⁹then he hath said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh 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 indeed standeth daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins;
¹²but he having offered one sacrifice for sins, continuously sat down on God's right hand,
¹³henceforth waiting until his enemies be set as footstool of his feet.
¹⁴For by one offering he hath perfected continuously 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.
