it is finished

The work's over

A phrase declaring something complete or concluded.

The words carry particular weight from their association with Christ's final utterance on the cross, signaling the fulfillment of his mission.

Outside religious contexts, the phrase announces decisive completion—often with dramatic or weary finality: She set down the brush and stepped back. It is finished.
