Juan 20:28 Meaning and Commentary

John 20:28

And Thomas answered and said unto him
Without examining his hands and side, and as astonished at his condescension and grace, and ashamed of his unbelief:

my Lord and my God;
he owns him to be Lord, as he was both by creation and redemption; and God, of which he was fully assured from his omniscience, which he had given a full proof of, and from the power that went along with his words to his heart, and from a full conviction he now had of his resurrection from the dead. He asserts his interest in him as his Lord and his God; which denotes his subjection to him, his affection for him, and faith in him; so the divine word is called in Philo the Jew, (kuriov mou) , "my Lord" ^F24.

Juan 20:28 In-Context

26 Una semana más tarde estaban los discípulos de nuevo en la casa, y Tomás estaba con ellos. Aunque las puertas estaban cerradas, Jesús entró y, poniéndose en medio de ellos, los saludó.—¡La paz sea con ustedes!

27 Luego le dijo a Tomás:—Pon tu dedo aquí y mira mis manos. Acerca tu mano y métela en mi costado. Y no seas incrédulo, sino hombre de fe.

28 —¡Señor mío y Dios mío! —exclamó Tomás.

29 —Porque me has visto, has creído —le dijo Jesús—; dichosos los que no han visto y sin embargo creen.

30 Jesús hizo muchas otras señales milagrosas en presencia de sus discípulos, las cuales no están registradas en este libro.
