The Pulpit Commentary - John 20:24-29

The unbelief of Thomas. I. THOMAS AND HIS FELLOW - APOSTLES . When they told Thomas they had seen Jesus, and he refused to believe, they must have been rather staggered at first. They would insist on how they had seen Jesus with their own eyes, and heard him with their own ears; not one of them, but all. They would point out how the sepulcher was empty, and how Jesus had said that it behooved him to be raised from the dead. They might ask whether Thomas imagined that they were... read more

Then ( εἶτα , not οὖν ; delude, Vulgate; darnach, Luther) saith he to Thomas, as though he had read his heart and sounded the depth of his complicated conflict between hope and fear, despair and love, and moreover intimating the fact that he had heard his disciple's protestations, as well as mercifully appreciated his genuine difficulties, and not unnatural hesitation, Reach hither thy finger, that organ with which thou wouldest test the reality of my being. Do what thou wilt. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 20:28

£ Thomas answered and said to him . Before, so far as we know, any gesture or effort was made on his part to accept the tests which had been so rashly demanded, but so graciously offered. He already found evidence which was far more efficacious than that which he in gross and sensuous fashion had thought indispensable for his peculiarly constituted mind. Before doing more than fill his hungry eyes with these identifying signs of the Lord's actual objective presence, he did in reality touch... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 20:28

The cry of faith and joy. If St. John begins his Gospel with a clear and full declaration of our Lord's Deity, he here towards its close gives his readers to understand that his conviction was shared by others who, like himself, had the advantage of prolonged and continuous fellowship with Jesus. I. THE WITNESS OF THIS CRY TO THE NATURE AND AUTHORITY OF CHRIST . 1. This witness is all the more important , because 2. This witness was full and explicit.... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 20:28

My Lord and my God - In this passage the name God is expressly given to Christ, in his own presence and by one of his own apostles. This declaration has been considered as a clear proof of the divinity of Christ, for the following reasons:1. There is no evidence that this was a mere expression, as some have supposed, of surprise or astonishment.2. The language was addressed to Jesus himself - “Thomas ...said unto him.”3. The Saviour did not reprove him or check him as using any improper... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 20:27-29

John 20:27-29. Then said he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, &c. Thus our Lord lets them see, that he was not unacquainted with what had lately passed among them in his absence, and at the same time takes an effectual way to convince and satisfy his over-scrupulous disciple. Referring to what Thomas had said, he answers it word for word: for he had heard it, though unseen: and one would suppose that his telling him of it so particularly must surely have put him to the blush. Observe... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 20:24-31

164. One week later (John 20:24-31)Thomas had been absent when Jesus appeared among the disciples in the locked room, and refused to accept the word of the others that he was alive (John 20:24-25). His doubts vanished when Jesus appeared among the disciples (this time including Thomas) in the same locked room the next Sunday night. But faith that depended on seeing Jesus’ actual body was not good enough, because soon he would return to his Father and people would no longer see him (John... read more

My Lord and my God . First testimony to the Deity of the risen Lord. Possibly Thomas was using the words of Psalms 86:15 , which in the Septuagint read Kurie ho Theos, and claiming forgiveness for his unbelief on the ground of Exodus 34:6 , to which this verse of the Psalm refers. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 20:27

Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.The overpowering drama of this is worthy of the Son of God himself and his blessed apostles; and one cannot but reflect upon the poverty of the church of all ages which would have been sustained had not John the apostle provided this record of what happened.Reach hither thy finger ... thy hand ... Neither Christ nor his religion has anything... read more
