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.
