This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
27. Jesus at once shews S. Thomas that He knows the test which he had demanded. The reproduction of his very words helps to bring home the grossness of the demand. Note γίνου: become. He is at the point where faith and unbelief part company: his suspense of judgment has been neither the one nor the other. It is not worth while to strain after a literal reproduction in English of the verbal contradiction between ἄπιστος and πιστός, as ‘unbelieving’ and ‘believing’ or ‘faithless’ and ‘faithful.’
