Theodore of Mopsuestia
on John 20:28 /

Ο Θεόδωρος Μοψουεστίας
περί του Ιωάννης 20:28

 

 

Οὗτος δὲ καὶ τὴν ὁμολογίαν Θωμᾶ τὴν ἐπὶ τῇ ψηλαφήσει τῶν χειρῶν καὶ τῆς πλευρᾶς τοῦ κυρίου μετὰ τὴν ἀνάστασιν τό «ὁ κύριός μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου», εἶπε μὴ εἰρῆσθαι περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ παρὰ τοῦ Θωμᾶ (οὐδὲ γὰρ αὐτὸν εἶναι λέγει τὸν Χριστὸν θεόν), ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ τῷ παραδόξῳ τῆς ἀναστάσεως ἐκπλαγέντα τὸν Θωμᾶν ὑμνῆσαι τὸν θεὸν τὸν ἐγείραντα τὸν Χριστόν.
