Context of John 20:26
24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas with them: thencame Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you. 27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach here thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach here thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.

Commentaries on John 20:26
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 26After eight days - It seems likely that this was precisely on that day se'nnight, on which Christ had appeared to them before; and from this we may learn that this was the weekly meeting of the apostles; and, though Thomas was not found at the former meeting, he was determined not to be absent from this. According to his custom, Jesus came again; for he cannot forget his promise - two or three are assembled in his name; and he has engaged to be among them.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 26And after eight days again - That is, on the return of the first day of the week. From this it appears that they thus early set apart this day for assembling together, and Jesus countenanced it by appearing twice with them. It was natural that the apostles should observe this day, but not probable that they would do it without the sanction of the Lord Jesus. His repeated presence gave such a sanction, and the historical fact is indisputable that from this…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 26-29Verses 26-29 That one day in seven should be religiously observed, was an appointment from the beginning. And that, in the kingdom of the Messiah, the first day of the week should be that solemn day, was pointed out, in that Christ on that day once and again met his disciples in a religious assembly. The religious observance of that day has come down to us through every age of the church. There is not an unbelieving word in our tongues, nor thought in our…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26-27Eight days later was the first day of the Jewish week (Sunday). This was one week after the resurrection of Jesus. At that time, people included the current day when counting forward. The appearance of Jesus on this Sunday helps explain why the disciples met for worship on "the Lord's Day" (see Revelation 1:10). Peace be with you: This scene was just like the first appearance of Jesus (John 20:19–20). Jesus had already heard the complaint of Thomas, and…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 26-2926-29. And after eight days--that is, on the eighth, or first day of the preceding week. They probably met every day during the preceding week, but their Lord designedly reserved His second appearance among them till the recurrence of His resurrection day, that He might thus inaugurate the delightful sanctities of THE Lord's Day (Re 1:10). disciples were within, and Thomas with them ... Jesus ... stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.Read the comment
