1 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | mbooker | 66164 | ||
Good Morning EdB Did Jesus, by his own blood, enter in once into the holy place (Heb 9:12), after he died or after he was resurrected. I ask because of the following passages of scripture: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. John 20:16-17 Here, after his resurrection, Mary could not touch Jesus because he had not yet ascended to the Father. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. John 20:26-27 But here, he told Thomas to thrust his hand into his side, which leads me to believe that by this time he had ascended to the Father. Meredith |

Greetings Meredith! I had just responded to Joe's post when I saw your question to EdB. Here is what I shared with Joe: ********************************************** Excellent observations my friend! Since you have a linguistic background, I thought you might be interested in this information. The imperative in John 20:17 is a Present, Middle, Imperative, 2nd Person, Singular. The negative particle used with it is 'me' or 'may'. The reason this is significant is that this construction indicates that an action is progress should be stopped, just as you indicated. An Aorist, Subjunctive would be used to indicate a command to not even begin an action. An example of this would be in the Lord's Prayer, where we read 'Do not lead us into tempation'. This is an Aorist, Subjunctive and means not to begin an action which is not currently in progress. This is a tremendously important point and sheds light on many verses of Scripture in that it allows one to identify whether or not a prohibited action is in progress or not. So, you are exactly right about Mary. She had grabbed Jesus and Jesus commanded her to stop. ************************************************ Thus, as you can see, there is no conflict between these two cases (Mary and Thomas) - both actually touched Him. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
