Exegesis
The object of the participle is phonen megalen {φωνὴν μεγάλην | phōnḗn megálēn}, where the attributive adjective megalen follows the noun and heightens the dramatic impact by emphasizing the magnitude of the cry. The aorist indicative exepneusen depicts Jesus’ death as a single, decisive event rather than a process. In translation, the participle is rendered with an English participial clause in the formal reconstruction (“having let out a loud cry”) to mirror the Greek structure, while the dynamic reconstruction uses a coordinated finite verb (“gave a loud cry and breathed His last”) to convey the same sequence in more natural contemporary style, still preserving the close linkage between the shout and the act of dying.
