Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 20:28
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
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 John 1:49 . The Socinian invasion of the supreme divinity of Christ here manifestly taught—as if it were a mere call upon God in a fit of astonishment—is beneath notice, save for the profanity it charges upon this disciple, and the straits to which it shows themselves reduced. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-29" class="com-number"
