Exegesis
The aorist participle apheis {ἀφεὶς | apheís} precedes the main verb and shares its subject, creating a circumstantial participial construction: “having released a great voice, he expired.” This structure presents the loud cry as temporally and logically bound to the moment of death, almost framing it as Jesus’ final deliberate act.
In context — Mark 15:37
But Jesus , having let out a loud cry , expired.
