John 20:24

Context

The Response of Thomas

20:24 Now Thomas (called Didymus),⁴ one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

[6:71] ¹sn At least six explanations for the name Iscariot have been proposed, but it is probably transliterated Hebrew with the meaning “man of Kerioth” (there are at least two villages that had that name). See D. A. Carson, John, 304.

[6:71] ²tn Grk “this one”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:71] ³sn This parenthetical statement by the author helps the reader understand Jesus’ statement one of you is the devil in the previous verse. This is the first mention of Judas in the Fourth Gospel, and he is immediately identified (as he is in the synoptic gospels, Matt 10:4, Mark 3:19, Luke 6:16) as the one who would betray Jesus.

[20:24] ⁴sn This is a parenthetical note by the author; Didymus means “the twin” in Greek.
