1: ἐκπνέω

(Strong's #1606 — Verb — ekpneo — ek-pneh'-o )

lit., "to breathe out" (ek, "out," pneo, "to breathe"), "to expire," is used in the NT, without an object, "soul" or "life" being understood, Mark 15:37,39; and Luke 23:46 , of the death of Christ. In Matthew 27:50; John 19:30 , where different verbs are used, the act is expressed in a way which stresses it as of His own volition: in the former, "Jesus ... yielded up His spirit (pneuma); in the latter, "He gave up His spirit."

2: ἐκψύχω

(Strong's #1634 — Verb — ekpsucho — ek-psoo'-kho )

"to expire," lit., "to breathe out the soul (or life), to give up the ghost" (ek, "out," psuche, "the soul"), is used in Acts 5:5,10; 12:23 .
