60. cried with a loud voice--with something of the gathered energy of his dying Lord (see on Joh 19:16-30).
      Lord--that is, JESUS, beyond doubt, whom he had just before addressed as Lord.
      lay not this sin to their charge--Comparing this with nearly the same prayer of his dying Lord, it will be seen how very richly this martyr of Jesus had drunk into his Master's spirit, in its divinest form.
      he fell asleep--never said of the death of Christ. (See on 1Th 4:14). How bright the record of this first martyrdom for Christ, amidst all the darkness of its perpetrators; and how many have been cheered by it to like faithfulness even unto death!
