CommentJeromePublic domainMark 15:33–37

Though the flesh was weak, yet the heavenly voice, which said, “Open me the gates of righteouness,” [Ps 117:19] waxed strong.

Wherefore there follows: “And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.”

We who are of the the earth die with a very low voice, or with no voice at all; but He who descended from heaven breathed His last with a loud voice.
