Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 20:21

‘Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me even so I send you.” To whom was Jesus speaking? As mentioned above others than the eleven were present, including the women. But John makes clear that the commission here is to ‘the disciples’ and in the context of chapter 13 onwards that is the eleven. The others join in it in a general sense, but the specific actions are for ‘the disciples’ (compare John 17:18; John 17:20). This is confirmed by the words with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 20:22

‘And when He had said this He breathed on them, and says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit”. Jesus now in a very real act of power endues the Apostles with the Holy Spirit. It is a travesty to suggest that this incident was merely symbolic. John mentions no other and sees this as the moment of enduing. In his eyes it explained all that lay in the future. We note the close connection between breathing and the reception of the Holy Spirit. The receiving of the Holy Spirit is the reception of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 20:23

“Of whoever you forgive the sins they have been and are forgiven, and of whoever you retain them they have been and are retained.” Few words have been more misrepresented than these. These words reveal that forgiveness of sin is the essential purpose of what Christ has accomplished, that He has come in order that men’s sins may be forgiven. That is why He has given His life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). The task of the Apostles was to be to mediate that forgiveness to men. But they are spoken... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 20:24-25

‘But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe”.’ Thomas had missed out on that first appearance of Jesus and when he arrived back and was told about it he was understandably sceptical. They ‘went on telling him’ (imperfect... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 20:24-29

Jesus Appears To The Disciples Including Thomas (John 20:24-29 ). Thomas had been absent at Jesus’ first appearance to the Apostles, but he too was now to see the risen Lord. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 20:19-29

John 20:19-Joel : . The Coming to the Disciples.— The first Christian “ Sunday” is spent in Jerusalem, where the disciples are in hiding. The interpretation of Mark 14:50 as implying an immediate flight of the apostles to Galilee is purely conjectural. The account of the first appearance to the disciples is told so as to emphasize the fulfilment of the promises, and the teaching, of chs. 14– 17 . Jesus “ comes” ( cf. John 14:18), He gives them His peace ( John 14:27), they were glad... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 20:19

Luke expounds this verse, Luke 24:29, where the two disciples told Christ it was towards evening, and the day was far spent; for the Jews called the afternoon evening, as well as the time after sunset; and John tells us expressly, it was yet the first day of the week. This appearance is unquestionably the same mentioned in Luke, Luke 24:36. For it is said, the two disciples went immediately to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven gathered together, and discoursed of the Lord’s appearance to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 20:20

He showed unto them his hands and his side; Luke adds his feet too; those parts of his body where were the most undeniable marks of the death he had suffered upon the cross. Then to disciples, who gave little credit to what Mary Magdalene, and the other woman, and the two disciples going to Emmaus, had reported, believed; seeing the Lord, and being exceeding glad at this confirmation of their faith. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 20:21

Peace be unto you; the repeating of this salutation speaketh it more than an ordinary compliment, or form of salutation. It signifieth his reconciliation to them, notwithstanding their error in forsaking him, and fleeing; it prepared their attention for the great things that he was now about to speak to them; it also signified, that he was about to preach the gospel of peace to all nations. As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you; I have now fulfilled my ministry, and am now going to my... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 20:22

The apostles could not but be apprehensive how great a work their Lord had laid upon them, in sending them as his Father had sent him, to carry the gospel over the world; Who (said Paul afterward) is sufficient for these things? Our Lord therefore fortifies them with an earnest of that more plentiful effusion of the Spirit, which they afterward received in the days of Pentecost. They before this had received the Spirit as a Spirit of sanctification, and had received a power to work miracles.... read more
