OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 19:30

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ ὄξος

the wine_vinegar

See how you translated this phrase, the sour wine, in the previous verse.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τετέλεσται

˱it˲_/has_been/_finished

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The thing Jesus finished could be: (1) all the work that God had sent Jesus to the world to do. This interpretation would connect this phrase to the statement Jesus made in 17:4 when he said that he had “completed the work” that God had given him to do. Alternate translation: “I finished all that I came here to do” (2) all the Old Testament prophecies about what Jesus would do the first time he came to the earth. This interpretation would connect this phrase to the statement in verse 28, “knowing that all things had already been completed, so that the scripture might be completed.” Alternate translation: “I completed all that the scripture has said about me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

παρέδωκεν τὸ πνεῦμα

˱he˲_gave_over his spirit

This clause is an idiom that means “willingly die.” If your readers would not understand this, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: “he allowed himself to die”
