Dialogue with Trypho 105.5
Summary: Christ commended his spirit to the Father at death.
Greek text · Archambault 2:148–150
Ὅθεν καὶ ὁ θεὸς διδάσκει ἡμᾶς καὶ διὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ τὸ πάντως ἀγωνίζεσθαι δικαίους γίνεσθαι, καὶ πρὸς τῇ ἐξόδῳ αἰτεῖν μὴ ὑπὸ τοιαύτην τινὰ δύναμιν ὑποπεσεῖν τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν. Καὶ γὰρ ἀποδιδοὺς τὸ πνεῦμα ἐπὶ τῷ σταυρῷ εἶπε· Πάτερ, εἰς χεῖράς σου παρατίθεμαι τὸ πνεῦμά μου, ὡς καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἀπομνημονευμάτων καὶ τοῦτο ἔμαθον.
English · Claude translation
“Hence God also teaches us through his Son to strive by all means to become righteous, and at our departure to pray that our souls may not fall under any such power. For when he gave up his spirit on the cross he said, ‘Father, into your hands I commit my spirit,’ as I have also learned from the memoirs.
