28 Toma gli rispose e disse: Signor mio e Dio mio!

Giovanni 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.

27 Poi disse a Toma: Porgi qua il dito, e vedi le mie mani; e porgi la mano e mettila nel mio costato; e non essere incredulo, ma credente.

28 Toma gli rispose e disse: Signor mio e Dio mio!

29 Gesù gli disse: Perché m’hai veduto, tu hai creduto; beati quelli che non han veduto, e hanno creduto!

30 Or Gesù fece in presenza dei discepoli molti altri miracoli, che non sono scritti in questo libro;
