Some say that Jesus' saying these words increases the plausibility of the crucifixion occurring, due to the argument of embarrassment. The idea is that for the later gospel writers this utterance was not theologically sound enough, thus He is instead recorded as saying "Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit," and "It is finished," instead.
Now I don't hold to that view theologically, but it is an interesting argument from the non-mythicist position.
