John 20:24 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

John 20:24

22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 ^aIf you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

24 Now Thomas, ^acalled the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”

JESUS AGAIN APPEARS TO THE ASSEMBLED DISCIPLES. (John 20:24-29)

But Thomas—(See on John 11:16).

was not with them when Jesus came—why, we know not, though we are loath to think (with STIER, ALFORD and LUTHARDT) it was intentional, from sullen despondency. The fact merely is here stated, as a loving apology for his slowness of belief.
