Christ on the cross.

Christ's 7 sayings on the cross are well known. But what each gospel writer included and omitted are important.

Only Matthew and Mark cite Jesus' words from Psalms 22:1.
[Only Mark cites Jesus citing Isaiah 66:24 referencing Mark 9:48.]
Now only John refers to Jesus in John 19:28, ". . . Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, . . ."
After this only John records, in John 19:30, ". . . he said, It is finished. . . ."
Now only Luke records, in Luke 23:46, ". . . he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: . . ." Now no longer being forsaken by His Father.

Just a quick note on John 19:28. The KJV has "now" accomplished but the NASB has "already been accomplished." When this adverb modifies a "perfect" tense verb, as in this case both already -something completed in the past, and now - something still presently in effect are needed to fully convey the inspired text. When the adverb modifies a Present tense verb, now seems appropriate. And of course if the verb indicates a past accomplishment, then already applies.
