This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 19:26. Τὸν μαθητὴν, the disciple) It is probable that Thomas also stood at a distance, ch. Joh 20:25,[391] and the others.-λέγει, He saith) He does not employ a long valediction, being about presently after to see them again.-ὁ υἱός σου, thy son) Thus Jesus honoured John by imparting to him as it were His own name; Thy son, saith He, to whom thou mayest commit thyself. Jesus even afforded an example of love towards surviving relatives and friends: but when He had discharged (performed) that office of love, He removed from His thoughts His mother, and had to do with His Father alone at the last.
[391] “Except I shall see in His hands the print of the nails,” etc.: implying, by the graphic mode of expression, that he had seen Him when the nails were in His body.-E. and T.
