In the King James Version it says, "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost." (Luke 23:46) (It was also prophesied in Psalm 31:5)

The word "commend" here means: to set before, to place down, or to commit (intrust) to another's charge.

Jesus knew that he was about to die, and he willingly gave his life for us.

And we must give our lives for him, and when we die, we can also say, "into your hands I commend my spirit."

What day did Jesus retune?

I assume you mean return, and by that you mean, When did Jesus return to earth after his Ascension. The answer is, he hasn't yet. Jesus will come back in the last days of the Earth, and when he comes, you won't be able to miss it (see Revelation 19:11-16) If you mean, what day did Jesus return after his death, he rose 3 days after his crucifixion which was a Sunday.
