No that's not at all what it means. It means that Jesus had the power over life and death and he voluntarily let his spirit free to complete His mission on earth. This release caused His death and remember, He was reunited with His body three days after His Crucifixion and brought forth the promise of the Resurrection to mankind. This is the cliff notes version, it goes a lot deeper that that.

The word translated "ghost" in that passage is normally translated "breath". It means he quit breathing. He died.
Has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit (which is a different word in the original language).

Tell me Mr., what planet do you come from. Jesus Christ has always been and will always be {THE} HolyGhost. Why do you think you are somehow still alive {today} to be at liberty to talk on this highly sensative subject. You, my friend are just one out of an infinite array of lively personas being taught the whole {TRUTH} of what its like to know the battle between good and evil in every respect.

The word "ghost" is from Old English, or Anglo-Saxon "gast" which meant "spirit" or "soul," so in the context of the verse you mentioned, it means that Jesus released his spirit from his body.

Louis, I think you well know that it means that Jesus gave up the spirit of life which sustained His earthly body on earth.

"to give up the ghost" means that the spirit of the person leaves the body which is to say that the person dies, as we think of it.

no, it means his spirit left his body, he died. It is just like it means now. When someone gives up the ghost it means they have died. The spirit is our soul basically.

when He says He gave up His spirit in Matt. 27:50 (HCSB) version Bible and '' His spirit '' is capitalize, then it simply means that the Spirit of God depart from His body & went to the safe good care in the Father's hand.../ Jesus said I am the way tthe truth & the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me,( John 14:6) . ..And God said in 1 John 5:12 that He that hath the Son hath life & he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. ...God said also John 14;18 I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you..... ...Jesus said also in John 14:16 saying '' And I will pray the Father & He shall give you another comforter that He may abide w/ youn forever.......Dear friend you have to possess Jesus Christ in your Heart in order to go to heaven. The Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ Himself , you must receive his gift of the Holy Spirit Jesus christ in your heart in order for u to be save & go to heaven, you must ask forgiveness of all your sins & repent of your sins to Jesus Christ w/c is the Holy Spirit Himself , w/c is here right now on earth waiting for you to receive Jesus Crist the Holy Spirit in your heart as your Lord & Savior. Repent & ask forgiveness of your sins to Jesus Christ & receive Him in your heart as your Savior. Remember God said in the bible that he that that hath the Son hath life and He that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
No '' I D '' NO ENTRY in Heaven Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit is your '' I D '' representation in entering to heaven. You have to possess Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit in order to go to heaven.
