| And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted--certainly none of "the Eleven," after what took place at previous interviews in Jerusalem. But if the five hundred were now present, we may well believe this of some of them. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
They worshipped him - Paid him honour as the Messiah.
But some doubted - As, for example, Thomas, Joh 20:25. The disciples had not expected his resurrection; they were therefore slow to believe. The mention of their doubting shows that they were honest men that they were not easily imposed on that they had not previously agreed to affirm that he had risen - that they were convinced only by the strength of the evidence. Their caution in examining the evidence; their slowness to believe; their firm conviction after all their doubts; and their willingness to show their conviction even by their "death," is most conclusive proof that they were "not" deceived in regard to the fact of his resurrection. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Worshipped (προσεκύνησαν)
As in Mat 28:9. Prostrated themselves. The first time that the disciples are described as doing so. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| But some doubted - That is, Thomas only at first doubted. The expression simply intimates, that they did not all believe at that time. See the same form noticed on Mat 26:8 (note), and Mat 27:44 (note). |
25 The other [243] disciples [3101] therefore [3767] said [3004] unto him [846], We have seen [3708] the Lord [2962]. But [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], Except [3362] I shall see [1492] in [1722] his [846] hands [5495] the print [5179] of the nails [2247], and [2532] put [906] my [3450] finger [1147] into [1519] the print [5179] of the nails [2247], and [2532] thrust [906] my [3450] hand [5495] into [1519] his [846] side [4125], I will [4100] not [3364] believe [4100].
9 And [1161] as [5613] they went [4198] to tell [518] his [846] disciples [3101], [2532] behold [2400], Jesus [2424] met [528] them [846], saying [3004], All hail [5463]. And [1161] they came [4334] and held [2902] him [846] by the feet [4228], and [2532] worshipped [4352] him [846].
44 [1161] The thieves [3027] also [2532], which [3588] were crucified [4957] with him [846], cast [3679] the same [846] in his [846] teeth [3679].
8 But [1161] when his [846] disciples [3101] saw [1492] it, they had indignation [23], saying [3004], To [1519] what purpose [5101] is this [3778] waste [684]?
