What was the final statement Jesus said from the cross?

The final statement Jesus spoke from the cross was, “Father, into Thy hands have I commended My Spirit.” After the fifth saying, “I thirst,” and the sixth, “It is finished,” Scripture moves to Luke 23:46 for His last words before He gave up the ghost.

Les teaches that John’s Gospel gives the fifth saying, “I thirst,” and the sixth, “It is finished.” But he returns to Luke 23:46 to pick up the final statement, where Jesus says, “Father, into Thy hands have I commended My Spirit,” and then gave up the ghost. That closes the sequence of words from the cross.

Luke 23:46

And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
