Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 20:28

Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.Thomas' confession ranks among the greatest ever made, being one of the ten New Testament passages which declare categorically that Christ is God (see my Commentary on Hebrews, Hebrews 1:8). This confession is the climactic note that crowns the entire theme of John that "Jesus is God." This pinnacle of the sustaining witness of that theme is inherent in the fact that even an apostle who at first would not believe came back to confess, "My... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 20:27

John 20:27. Reach hither thy finger, &c.— It is observable, that our Lord here repeats the very words which Thomas had made use of; and thus demonstrated, not only that he was risen, but also that he was possessed of divine knowledge, from his being conscious of the words and actions of men, though spoken or done in secret. It is observable also, that Spinosa himself could find out no more plausible objections against this evidence of the resurrection of Christ, than to say that the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 20:28

John 20:28. Thomas answered and said, &c.— Though the nominative often occurs for the vocative, it is the former case which is used here, the words συ ει, thou art, being understood. To this the context agrees; for we are told that these words were addressed to Jesus; wherefore they cannot be taken merely as an exclamation of surprise, which is the Socinian gloss; but their meaning is, "Thou art really he whom I lately followed as my Lord; and I confess thee to be possessed of infinite... read more

27. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither . . . behold . . . put it into my side, and be not faithless, but believing—"There is something rhythmical in these words, and they are purposely couched in the words of Thomas himself, to put him to shame" [LUTHARDT]. But wish what condescension and gentleness is this done! read more

28. Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God—That Thomas did not do what Jesus invited him to do, and what he had made the condition of his believing, seems plain from :- ("Because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed"). He is overpowered, and the glory of Christ now breaks upon him in a flood. His exclamation surpasses all that had been yet uttered, nor can it be surpassed by anything that ever will be uttered in earth or heaven. On the striking parallel in Nathanael, see on... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 20:1-29

F. Jesus’ resurrection 20:1-29"If the Gospel of John were an ordinary biography, there would be no chapter 20. I am an incurable reader of biographies, and I notice that almost all of them conclude with the death and burial of the subject. I have yet to read one that describes the subject’s resurrection from the dead! The fact that John continued his account and shared the excitement of the Resurrection miracle is proof that Jesus Christ is not like any other man. He is, indeed, the Son of... read more

4. The transformed faith of Thomas 20:24-29The last witness to Jesus’ resurrection in John’s Gospel is Thomas, and the record of it has two parts. The first part sets the scene for the second (cf. ch. 21). John is the only evangelist who recorded this post-resurrection appearance. Thomas’ confession is John’s climactic argument for belief in Jesus as the divine Messiah, the Christ. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 20:27

Jesus then invited Thomas to satisfy himself that He really was the crucified Jesus, as Thomas had said he would have to do to believe that Jesus was alive. Jesus knew what Thomas had said even though He had not been physically present when he had said it. This is a further implication of Jesus’ deity. The purpose of this test was not just to satisfy Thomas’ curiosity, however. It was to bring him to faith that Jesus was the resurrected Messiah. We could render Jesus’ statement literally, "Do... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 20:28

Evidently Thomas did not take up Jesus’ offer. The sight of his Savior seems to have been enough to convince him (cf. John 20:29). Thomas then uttered one of the most profound declarations of saving faith in Scripture. For a Jew to call another human being "my Lord and my God" was blasphemy under normal circumstances (cf. John 10:33). Yet that is precisely who Thomas believed Jesus was. It is also who John presented Jesus as being throughout this Gospel. Both titles were titles of deity in the... read more
