João 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.

João 20:28 In-Context

26 Uma semana mais tarde, os seus discípulos estavam outra vez ali, e Tomé com eles. Apesar de estarem trancadas as portas, Jesus entrou, pôs-se no meio deles e disse: “Paz seja com vocês!”

27 E Jesus disse a Tomé: “Coloque o seu dedo aqui; veja as minhas mãos. Estenda a mão e coloque-a no meu lado. Pare de duvidar e creia”.

28 Disse-lhe Tomé: “Senhor meu e Deus meu!”

29 Então Jesus lhe disse: “Porque me viu, você creu? Felizes os que não viram e creram”.

30 Jesus realizou na presença dos seus discípulos muitos outros sinais milagrosos, que não estão registrados neste livro.
