We now know that the author of Luke's Gospel, as with the author of Matthew's Gospel, relied on Mark's Gospel for his information about the life and mission of Jesus, supplementing this with sayings from the 'Q' document.
When Luke copies Mark, it usually does so reasonably accurately, but the last words of Jesus given by Luke are very different than those given by Mark. According to Mark's Gospel Jesus said, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me," just before he died. But in Luke's Gospel, Jesus said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." The significance of this is that Mark's words portray an unwillingness to die in this manner and the thought that God has let Jesus down. When Luke replaces this, it becomes an almost triumphant passing of Jesus from this earth into the hands of his Father. This is a magnificant reversal that demonstrates some of the genius of Luke.
We also now know that the author of John's Gospel used Luke's Gospel as his major source on Jesus, so we can expect John to follow Luke. But John differs from both Mark and Luke, with Jesus saying, "It is finished." The significance here is that for John, Jesus was both divine and pre-existing, so the author saw Luke's wording as inappropriate for a Son who is returning to his Father after completing an earthly assignment. "It is finished" gave Jesus the nonchalance and near-equality to God the Father that met John's portrayal of Jesus.

This depends on which gospel you choose to follow on the subject. the Gospels According to Matthew, Mark and Luke say that the disciples were not present at the crucifixion - so Jesus said nothing to them from the cross.

Why did God turn His back on Jesus during the Crucifixion?
In Mark's Gospel, Jesus spoke the last words, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" which is certainly puzzling, especially in the light of the Trinity doctrine.Matthew faithfully copies Mark, but the author of Luke was not prepared to do so, replacing these words with, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." The author of John was generally copying Luke, but because he saw Jesus as truly divine, Luke's words were inappropriate. He chose "It is finished."So it can be seen that God turned his back on Christ in the first two gospels, but not in Luke's Gospel or John's Gospel.
