Ghost (give up the)

[ 1,,G1606, ekpneo ]
lit., to breathe out" (ek, "out," pneo, "to breathe"), "to expire," is used in the NT, without an object, "soul" or "life" being understood, Mark 15:37, Mark 15:39; and Luke 23:46, of the death of Christ. In Matthew 27:50; John 19:30, where different verbs are used, the act is expressed in a way which stresses it as of His own volition: in the former, "Jesus ... yielded up His spirit (pneuma); in the latter, "He gave up His spirit."

"to expire," lit., "to breathe out the soul (or life), to give up the ghost" (ek, "out," psuche, "the soul"), is used in Acts 5:5, Acts 5:10; Acts 12:23.
