The final words of Jesus crucified in the synoptics come from the Book of Psalms. According to the synoptics Jesus dies with a prayer on his lips. In Mark and Matthew, his last words are the citation from Psalm 22:2 and in Luke the citation from Psalm 31:6. This article analyzes four areas: psalm verse in the context of the relevant Biblical Psalms; wider and immediate context of the last words in the synoptics; comparison of the wording of the verses in LXX and in the Greek text of the NT; the importance of the last words in the synoptics. The article shows that Jesus’ last words before his death in Mark highlight the theme of abandonment and helplessness; in the context of Matthew are expressions of Jesus forsaken, who dies on the cross, but it is not completely helpless; and in Luke emphasize the dimension of surrender.
