'It is finished' (tetelestai) echoes the completion of creation, 'the heavens and the earth were finished... God finished his work,' presenting the cross as the consummation of God's work. Coherent with John's new-creation framing (cf. 20:22); medium volume.

'I have accomplished the work which you gave me to do' (v4) faintly mirrors God finishing the work of creation and resting. Possible figural completion-of-work motif, but the language is generic; marked contested for low Volume.
