| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "He breathed on them - New life and vigour, and saith, as ye
receive this breath out of my mouth, so receive ye the Spirit out of my fulness: the Holy
Ghost influencing you in a peculiar manner, to fit you for your great embassy. This was an
earnest of pentecost." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).

only as ocular and tangible evidence of the reality of His
resurrection ... but as through "the power of that resurrection"

"First
Thoughts on Year B Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 2,"
William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in
Australia.
| "John is not anti-miracle, but
he is critical of the focus on the materiality of miracles and
Thomas surely approaches that stance. Blessed are those who believe
who did not need the proofs (20:29)." |

Exegetical Notes
(Easter 2 ABC)
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
| "The purpose of this
resurrection appearance is not so much to prove the resurrection as it
is to send the disciples as Jesus had been sent. Easter is not
just coming to a wonderful, inspiring worship service, it is being sent
back into the (hostile) world, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to bear
witness to the identity of God as revealed in Jesus." |
|
|
"Exegetical Considerations,"
Easter 2, Richard
Carlson, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Using Greek for
Sunday Text Preparations.
| "What is the theological significance of Jesus
congratulatory declaration in v. 29b? How does that relate to a theology of
faith and the resurrection?" |
|
|
"Marks of Faith,"
Kate Huey, Weekly Seeds, iucc.org, 2009.
| "Isn't it
reasonable to assume that the disciples might have been just a
little bit afraid that this was not all good news? That Jesus might
be understandably angry with them for abandoning him, in Peter's
case for even denying Jesus three times as he warmed himself by the
fire in the courtyard, while his Lord and Savior was questioned by
the religious authorities?" |
|
|
"Holy Textures,"
Understanding the Bible in its own time and in ours, John 20:19-31,
David Ewart, 2009.
| "Malina & Rohrbaugh make
two points about the English NRSV translation. The first is that
'believe' in John is better translated as 'believe into.' In John,
'believe' does NOT mean 'hold an opinion about.'
'Believe' means 'trust,' 'bond with,' "be loyal to.' Think, 'I am
the vine and you are the branches.' That is what 'believe' means." |
|
|
"Never-Ending Story," Sarah Dylan Breuer, The Christian Century,
2007.

comes back with a greeting of peace and an invitation to experience
the wounded and risen life of the Christ." |

|
|
"Resonating with God's Song," Walter Wink, The Christian Century,
1994.
| "We are just suckers if we let the reigning
intellectual fashion decree that the resurrection is unbelievable. What is
believable changes from generation to generation." |
|
|
"The Show-Me Disciple,"
Amy B. Hunter, The Christian Century, 2002. Religion Online.
| "Doubts and uncertainty frighten
us. Thats why we reject Thomas -- he dares to bring doubt into our lives
of faith." |
|
|
"A Surprise Appearance,"
Ken Collins, Ken Collin' Web Site.
| "So if Jesus didn't
penalize Thomas for doubting the resurrection, He certainly won't penalize
you if you have misgivings about it. You are not saved by your beliefs but
by your faith; by your reliance on Jesus Christ." |
|
|
"Those
Who Have Not Seen," James C. Somerville, The Christian
Century, 1998. At Religion Online.
| "As Bultmann would insist,
faith and proof are two different things. And as John has explained,
these things are not written so that you may have the facts, but so
that you may believe." |
|
|
"Mediated through Flesh," Margaret Guenther, The Christian
Century, 1995.
| "Most of us present carefully prepared facades. The
self we offer to others is not the product of conscious deception, yet we
want no one to disturb the meticulously maintained surface. The message is
implicit: Don't look too closely at my wounds, please." |

Commentary
by Hall Harris at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
| "Furthermore there is the imagery of Ezek. 37:1-14, the prophecy concerning
the resurrection of the dry bones: there in verse 9 the Son of Man is told to prophesy to
the "wind/breath/Spirit" to come and breathe on the corpses, so that they will
live again." |

|
On Seeing and Believing (John 20:10-31), by Robert Deffinbaugh at the
Biblical Studies Foundation.

John proclaims Him to be." |

Exegetical Notes
(Pentecost A)
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
| "The question has been asked, 'What
changed the disciples from fearful (hiding behind locked doors) to
fearless witnesses in the world?' One answer is that they had seen the
resurrected Jesus -- but only a few had this life-changing experience.
Another answer is that they had all been filled with the Holy Spirit." |

| "But on
the other hand, it could well prove to be a major turning point in our life if we would
... ask ourselves if we really do intend to be life students of Jesus. Do we really intend
to do and be all of the high things we profess to believe in? Have we decided to do them?
When did we decide it? And how did we implement that decision?" |
