This exclamation, which has reached us in New Testament Greek and was almost certainly spoken in Aramaic, is Jesus' last expression on the cross before he died.

I chose it as the title of this book because, in my opinion, it constitutes the center, the heart of John's Gospel.

Tetelestai! "It is finished!": it is a cry of victory, of triumph over the forces of evil and of liberation for humanity. It is an expression of life, joy and hope that every believer must make their own.
