Joh 20:27. Τῶ Θωμᾷ, to Thomas) He had previously believed: on this account he is not even now cast away.-φέρε, reach) apply to.-τὶν δάκτυλόν σου, thy finger) Thomas’ own words are retorted upon him: how must he have been astonished, we may suppose, at the omniscience and goodness of the Saviour! If a Pharisee had spoken thus, unless I shall see, etc., he would have obtained nothing; but to a disciple that has been formerly approved of, there is nothing that is not given.-ὧδε, hither) The Demonstrative.-ἴδε) touch and see. Thomas had said, ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω, unless I shall see.-πιστὸς, believing) He had said, I will not believe.
