Commentary on John 20:29

Theological / Devotional

Seen me. Apparently Thomas had not accepted the invitation to touch the nailprints, and the scar left by the spear thrust (v. 27). But he demanded at least the evidence of his sight. He was unwilling to believe on the witness of others alone. Jesus rebuked his faithlessness and commended those who were willing to believe without the corroboration of their senses.

Blessed. Gr. makarioi (see on Matt. 5:3).
