I always find that, even, this one word emphasizes Jesus sovereignty, also, at death:
Matt.27.50-ἀφῆκεν aphēken
And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and
yielded up
his spirit.
ἀφῆκεν aphēken leave; forgive
verb, aorist, active, indicative, third person.
He died at His own timing and initiative. Pastor George brought this out.
