: Definitely contradictory. If "these WERE his last words," it can't be a paraphrase. Paraphrases carry meanings, not exact words.

: At any rate, the proper words were, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit."

: By the way, intentionally misquoting someone is not considered a nice thing to do.

How are you so sure those were his last words? According to Mark, his last words were 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken me.', followed by 'a loud cry'. Matthew concurs.

According to John, Christ's last word's wete "It is finished'.

looks like you are selectively quoting Luke to the exception of all else. Why? if anything, the 'My God, my God..." bit seems more accurate, if only because two sources agree.
