Bible Note: 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 |
