But Jesus let out a loud cry
This phrase highlights the intensity and significance of Jesus' final moments on the cross. The loud cry signifies not only physical agony but also the spiritual weight of bearing the sins of humanity. In the context of Roman crucifixion, victims often died from asphyxiation, making a loud cry at the moment of death unusual and noteworthy. This cry is also recorded inMatthew 27:50 andLuke 23:46, where it is associated with Jesus' final words, "Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit." The loud cry fulfills the prophecy inPsalm 22:1, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" which Jesus had earlier quoted, emphasizing His role as the suffering servant.

and breathed His last.
This phrase marks the moment of Jesus' physical death, a pivotal event in Christian theology. The act of breathing His last signifies the completion of His earthly mission and the fulfillment of His sacrificial role as the Lamb of God, as prophesied inIsaiah 53:7-9. Theologically, this moment represents the atonement for sin, as Jesus' death provides the means for reconciliation between God and humanity. The Gospel ofJohn 19:30 records Jesus' final words as "It is finished," indicating the completion of His redemptive work. The death of Jesus is central to the Christian faith, symbolizing the ultimate act of love and the opening of the way to eternal life for believers.

• Mark draws a deliberate contrast with everyone else at the cross—soldiers mocking (Mark 15:16-20), bystanders misunderstanding (v. 35-36), religious leaders taunting (v. 31-32). In the middle of human failure “But Jesus” stands apart, fulfilling the Father’s plan foretold inIsaiah 53:5-12 andPsalm 22:1-18.

• The conjunction “But” reminds us that, despite appearances, Jesus remains sovereign (John 10:18); no one takes His life from Him.

• This moment answers His earlier prediction: “The Son of Man will be delivered… and they will kill Him” (Mark 10:33-34). The covenant promises ofGenesis 3:15 andIsaiah 9:6-7 converge here.

let out a loud cry

• Unlike ordinary crucifixion victims who fade into silence, Jesus cries out with strength (Matthew 27:50;Luke 23:46). John clarifies the words: “It is finished” (John 19:30)—a triumphant proclamation, not a gasp of defeat.

• The cry signals the completion of the atoning work (Hebrews 9:26-28;1 Peter 2:24). Every sacrificial shadow of Leviticus finds fulfillment.

• It also fulfillsPsalm 31:5, “Into Your hands I commit My spirit,” demonstrating trust in the Father even in death.

• The volume underscores that He lays down His life voluntarily and consciously; His strength remains until the mission is complete (Mark 15:39 shows the centurion recognizing this).

and breathed His last

• Jesus truly died—bodily, historically, literally (1 Corinthians 15:3;Romans 5:8). This guards the gospel against the swoon theory or any denial of physical death.

• His death secures substitutionary atonement: “The righteous for the unrighteous” (1 Peter 3:18). God’s wrath is satisfied (Isaiah 53:10-11;Romans 3:25-26).

• The timing is purposeful: the Passover lambs were slain that very afternoon (Exodus 12:6;1 Corinthians 5:7). Jesus becomes the final Passover Lamb.

• Immediately after His last breath, the temple veil tears (Mark 15:38), proving that access to God is now open (Hebrews 10:19-20).

• His completed work guarantees the resurrection to follow (Mark 16:6;Acts 2:24), just as He had foretold (Mark 9:31).

summary

Mark 15:37 records the decisive, victorious death of Jesus Christ. Standing apart from human sin, He consciously completes the Father’s redemptive plan, announces its fulfillment with a powerful cry, and truly dies as the spotless Lamb. Through this literal, historical event, our salvation is secured, the way to the Father is opened, and every prophetic promise is affirmed.

Verse 37. -And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. The three synoptists all mention this cry, which appears to have been something different from the words which he uttered at or about the time of his death. It was evidently something supernatural, and was so regarded by the centurion who stood by; and who had no doubt been accustomed to scenes like these. Usually the voice fails the dying, more especially when the natural forces have been weakened by long agony, as in the case of our Lord. It seems, therefore, the right conclusion that he cried out, just before he expired, by that supernatural power which his Godhead supplied to him; and thus he showed that, although he had gone through all the pains which were sufficient in ordinary cases to produce death, yet that at length he did not die of necessity, but voluntarily, in accordance with what he had himself said, "No one taketh my life from me... I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again" (John 10:18). Victor Antiochanus, in commenting upon this chapter, says, "By this action the Lord Jesus proved that he had his whole life, and his death, in his own free power."
