This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
5. Θωμᾶς. Nothing is to be inferred from the omission of Δίδυμος here (comp. Joh 11:16, Joh 20:24, Joh 21:2). For his character see on Joh 11:16. His question here has a melancholy tone combined with some dulness of apprehension. But there is honesty of purpose in it. He owns his ignorance and asks for explanation. This great home with many abodes, is it the royal city of the conquering Messiah, who is to restore the kingdom to Israel (see on Act 1:6); and will not that be Jerusalem? How then can He be going anywhere? How do we know the way? The abrupt asyndeton gives emphasis.
