  • Mary mina on John 20:23 - 9 years ago
    Forgive so that you can be forgiven !
  • Lilian on John 20 - 9 years ago
    Jesus is the ressurection of life even if we will die we still have life. Jesus is the Son of the Living God who is authorised by our Holy Father to forgive sins, heal the sick and bless us in abundance. There is no other above name is Jesus. Jesus is the perfect obedience to the Holy Father therefore Jesus is expecting us to believe in him and obey his commandments until rapture. He who loves Jesus will keep his commandments. Thank you Jesus for your precious blood that shed for us for we are now saved, pardoned, and forgiven and loved by you. You have shown us always with your goodness and mercy that always following us. You deserve and worthy to be praised. Thank you Jesus and i will follow you and love you forever. Jesus loves you

    JOHN CHAPTER 2O:23 1 18 15 In JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 1 TIMOTHY 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus Thank you Lord. A-men.
  • Richard Hartley on John 20:23 - 9 years ago
    God is the only one who can forgive sins,Jesus said I 'm the way the truth and the life nobody can go to the Father except through me,Jesus is the only mediator between God and man not a Catholic priest.The authority that was given to the apostles was not given to bishops,priests thats there claim is all but there is no valid truth to that at all,they claim 2 passages to back that claim up,that bind and loosen and to forgive sin,there was no Apostlic Succession given to the Catholic Church that is there claim,the Catholic Church did not even come into existence untill the 6 th Century.church your history books ppl.

  • Joni G on John 20 - 9 years ago
    Jesus arose from the dead physically. His body was physical. He was going to be with them several more days before he ascended back to the Father. The Bible doesn 't say he went to Heaven right after resurrection and then came back again until the 40th day to ascend back to Heaven again. I believe the Holy Spirit carried Jesus to the room where the disciples were gathered. He suddenly appeared. Just like Phillip the evangelist was caught away after baptizing the eunuch in Acts 8 39. Verse 29 calls us blessed who have not seen Jesus but believe. Acts 24 16 says the disciples eyes were prevented from seeing Jesus on the road to Emmaus. Another thing I think is wonderful is we have the word, the beautiful word of God full of grace and truth. It opens our eyes to the truths of Jesus.
  • Claire Bell on John 20 - 9 years ago
    In this Chapter Jesus is letting us know that he has risen he was ascended to heaven came back in the midst of his brethren finding some in disbelief but yet believers he saw how Thomas was not shocked of his ressurrection but on the other hand Simeon Peter needed proof that it was Jesus I 'm amazed that Jonas son yes Jona the man that stayed in the belly of the whale for 3 days had a son that was so close to Jesus their faith is being shown power and something to ponder in! Mary Magdelean was the key to success And made history for all man kind when she went boldly to the scelpture to see Jesus it was Mary Magdelean that notified the Diciples and caused this action to come to pass and raised the attention of many and became a woman on a mission representing Unstoppable faith bringing the Diciples to a higher height and deeper depths to this miraculous miracle ! He has risen king if king and Lord of Lords to make a long story short forgive those that hurt you do the right thing Jesus want us to turn the other cheek let his people go free feed his sheep love unconditional and only beleive on his promises and in my closing love always don 't hate celebrate Jesus and where he 's taking you follow his path and you will truly see him in the end of your life Heaven. Holiness or Hell choose yea this day whom u gonna serve. He has risen should make it plain enough to make your choice AMEN
  • Stephen Naidoo on John 20:23 - 9 years ago
    DJ, I disagree that Catholics are right when it comes to the forgiveness of sins. Read 1 John 1 v 9. In my opinion concerning this portion of scripture, we must forgive all who sin against us just as Christ did those who crucified and Him and as Stephen did those who stoned him because if we dont, we can hold those persons who sinned against us in bondage thus also causing us to sin in the process because we 're not practicing forgiveness as Christ requires us to. If we have Christ in us then we will find it easy to forgive others just as He asked the Father to forgive us. If we say we have the Love of God in us then forgiveness should be one of our main traits because we should have the true love of God within us. Read 1 Corinthian 13 and 1 John 4 verses 7 and 8. God bless
  • Dan Nava on John 20:7 - 9 years ago
    I don 't know. It must have a great meaning a whole verse is used.
  • Phyllis mitchell on John 20 - 9 years ago
    I believe it means just what it says that Jesus had not yet ascended to His Father and could not be touched therefore since He later allowed others to touch Him and physically ate with them, He had ascended to God, came back and stayed with them for 40 days pr Acts 1 3
  • Nancy cid on John 20:23 - 9 years ago
    I think that this verse tests the true condition of our hearts. It reveals whether or not we truly forgive those that have sinned against us. The verse says "If you forgive others their sins are forgiven, if you don 't forgive them their sins are not forgiven. This just shows how willing we truly are to forgive those that hurts us. If we forgive them then they are released, that proves that we are doing what Jesus did.
  • Elizabeth L Xavier on John 20:17 - 9 years ago
    I believe that John 20 17 is saying that Jesus had newly come out of the Baptism, which mentioned to the two apostles who wanted to seat at the thrown side by side with Him in Heaven. He told them that even if they could sit on the thrown the could not go through that baptism which must have happened just before He was resurrected. Touching Him in His glory before this glory was apprehended by the Father, would have defiled that glory. I can only believe that Jesus must have spent time with the Father after His resurrection, before He allowed Himself to mingle with His fellow disciples who were pure human being. Notice that Jesus simple walked through closed doors, and He appeared and vanished from His disciples after His resurrection. The Spirit form of Jesus was more obvious after His resurrection, in that His disciples did not know Him right away, when He walked into their midst
  • AKOR ASIEDU BENJAMIN on John 20 - 9 years ago
    Chapter 20 verses 13. I am amazed at the faith of Mary. She was part of those who wrapped the body and took Him to the Sepulcher. She confirmed that Jesus Christ was dead but SHE STILL CALLED HIM LORD.
  • Gary on John 20:17 - 9 years ago
    In John 20 17, 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 to your Father and to my God and your God. Do I understand that Jesus would not descend to Heaven for forty days. But why did Jesus not want Mary to touch him but later before he ascended let Thomas touch him to prove that He was actually Jeasus? Thank you and God Bless you all.
  • Raymond mccaw on John 20:17 - 10 years ago
    The blood had not yet covered the seat in heaven as same as the offering for sin in the old testament could not be touched until it was made holy
  • Angelle on John 20:29 - 10 years ago
    Amazing Word from the Lord..being so late of an hour ..we know some will go through the almightys wrath.even as I pray I know this in my heart.one thing that always holds true ..My our father never changes his word never changes.
  • J on John 20:23 - 10 years ago
    The Son of Man DOES have power on earth to forgive sins that are done personally against you We can forgive Father God has the last say in the end ie Father forgive them for they don t know what they do Yet when people DO know what they do in sin and then do it anyway THEN there is no forgiveness Either on earth or in heaven food for thought
  • Rod on John 20:9 - 10 years ago
    I am confused by the work "again". What does it mean in this verse? Rise AGAIN from the dead.
  • Tom Sawyer on John 20:23 - 10 years ago
    It means what it says
  • Anonymous on John 20:23 - 10 years ago
    Only God can forgive sin , you sin when you know ,that you are going against God's teaching , and he has given us the Holy Ghost to teach us all things and to bring to our remmberance , what he has told us .
  • David on John 20:17 - 10 years ago
    Note some translations read clinging vs touching. also note messiah's role was changing from lamb to high priest (Hebrews) . Jesus needed Mary to let the others know he would see them after presenting his sacrifice to the father. There would be time later for Mary to see him.
  • Kathy Dormey on John 20 - 10 years ago
    The Lord wants us to have have, without sight.
  • Obilikwu John. on John 20:23 - 10 years ago
    No man, whatsoever the name or title in the body of Christ can or will ever for give any man's sin, that is no human can put any human in right relationship with God. The meaning of the verse is the provision of forgiveness that is open to everyone through the acceptance of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. This commission was first give to the apostels as eyes witnesses then to everyone that will later belive. The bible says, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. How can they hear if there are no preachers. In the gospel of the Lord, the place of many is that man is a vessel. We must not forget that the nature of man is evil, it only requires a sinless God to for make man like Himself.
  • Jerry on John 20 - 10 years ago
    Gert,
    It was a Jewish tradition that if someone got up from the table from a meal that if his napkin was just thrown down that he was finnished and would not return, but if his napkin was folded then that meant he was coming back. Jesus is coming back but not riding on a donkey this time. He is coming back like he said with power and on a cloud.
  • Cayetano lirazan on John 20 - 10 years ago
    Is it true that when Jesus died,his spirit went down into the depth and preached the spirits down there?can someone give me the verse?i just heard it and i want to know the truth..thanks and GOD BLESS..
  • Henriette on John 20:17 - 10 years ago
    verse 28 Blows the co-equal/co-eternal doctrine right out of the water!
  • Dromjo 10 on John 20 - 10 years ago
    verse 17 it cleary mentioned that he deny's divinity. Do i uderstand correct him
  • Michele on John 20:31 - 11 years ago
    I think that the word may and might says a lot about salvation. Jesus came that we "may or might" eneter into His rest. Seems salvation is a condition on not willfully sinning
