hang on to.” Some translations render Jesus’ words: “Do not touch me.” However, Jesus was not objecting to Mary Magdalene’s merely touching him, since he did not object when other women who saw him after he was resurrected “took hold of his feet.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/11/0" data-bid="12-1" class="b">Mt 28:9</a>) It appears that Mary Magdalene feared that Jesus was about to ascend to heaven. Moved by her strong desire to be with her Lord, she was holding fast to Jesus, not letting him go. To assure her that he was not yet leaving, Jesus instructed Mary to stop clinging to him and, instead, to go to his disciples and declare the news of his resurrection.</p> <p id="p15" data-pid="15" class="s5"><strong>my God and your God:</strong> This conversation between Jesus and Mary Magdalene on Nisan 16, 33 C.E., shows that the resurrected Jesus viewed the Father as his God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Two days earlier, when on the torture stake, Jesus had cried out: “My God, my God,” fulfilling the prophecy found at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/12/0" data-bid="13-1" class="b">Ps 22:1</a> and acknowledging his Father as his God. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/13/0" data-bid="14-1" class="b">Mt 27:46;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/13/1" data-bid="14-2" class="b"> Mr 15:34;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/13/2" data-bid="14-3" class="b"> Lu 23:46</a>) In the book of Revelation, Jesus also speaks of his Father as “my God.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/14/0"

heavenly Father as his God, just as Jesus’ disciples do.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span

data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p21" data-pid="21" class="s5"><strong>My Lord and my God!:</strong> Lit., “The Lord of me and the God [<em>ho the·osʹ</em>] of me!” Some scholars view this expression as an exclamation of astonishment spoken to Jesus but actually directed to God, his Father. Others claim that the original Greek requires that the words be viewed as being directed to Jesus. Even if this is so, the intent of the expression “my Lord and my God” is best understood in the context of the rest of the inspired Scriptures. Since the record shows that Jesus had previously sent his disciples the message, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father and <em>to my God</em> and your God,” there is no reason to believe that Thomas thought that Jesus was the almighty God. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/12/0">study note on Joh 20:17</a>.) Thomas had heard Jesus pray to his “Father,” calling him “the only true God.” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/18/0" data-bid="19-1" class="b">Joh 17:1-3</a>) So Thomas may have addressed Jesus as “my God” for the following reasons: He viewed Jesus as being “a god” though not the almighty God. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/13/0">study note on Joh 1:1</a>.) Or he may have addressed Jesus in a manner similar to the way that servants of God addressed angelic messengers of Jehovah, as recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures. Thomas would have been familiar with accounts in which individuals, or at times the Bible writer of the account, responded to or spoke of an angelic messenger as though he were Jehovah God. (Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/19/0" data-bid="20-1" class="b">Ge 16:7-11,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/19/1" data-bid="20-2" class="b"> 13;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/19/2" data-bid="20-3" class="b"> 18:1-5,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/19/3" data-bid="20-4" class="b"> 22-33;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/19/4" data-bid="20-5" class="b"> 32:24-30;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/19/5" data-bid="20-6" class="b"> Jg 6:11-15;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/19/6" data-bid="20-7" class="b"> 13:20-22</a>.) Therefore, Thomas may have called Jesus “my God” in this sense, acknowledging Jesus as the representative and spokesman of the true God.</p> <p id="p22" data-pid="22" class="s5">Some argue that the use of the Greek <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/14/0">definite article</a> before the words for “lord” and “god” indicates that these words refer to the almighty God. However, in this context the use of the article may simply reflect Greek grammar. Cases where a nominative noun with the definite article is used as vocative in Greek can be illustrated by a literal translation of such scriptures as <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/20/0" data-bid="21-1" class="b">Lu 12:32</a> (lit., “the little flock”) and <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/21/0" data-bid="22-1" class="b">Col 3:18–4:1</a> (lit., “the wives”; “the husbands”; “the children”; “the fathers”; “the slaves”; “the masters”). In a similar way, a literal translation of <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070688/22/0" data-bid="23-1" class="b">1Pe 3:7</a> would read: “The husbands.” So the use of the article here may not be of significance in determining what Thomas had in mind when he made his statement.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span
