From the most recent "New Horizons":
"Now what did Jesus mean when he said, 'It is finished'? In the Greek, 'It is finished' is expressed by a single word: tetelestai. This verb is in the perfect tense, conveying the sense that an action has concluded, with a lasting effect. On ancient invoices it meant 'paid in full.'"
