“It is
finished” (John 19:30). In Greek, it is TETELESTAI! "PAID IN FULL!"
THREE words in English, ONE word in Greek.
In the first century, whenever a debt was owed, a
“certificate” of the debt would be made.
When the obligation was settled, it was officially resolved with a
single Greek word placed upon the parchment’s face: tetelestai. It meant completed, paid, finished,
done.
Such ancient receipts that have been “canceled out” in this
way using the word tetelestai or its abbreviation have been unearthed by
archaeologists.
