Summary
Dimitrios Panagopoulos expounds Thomas's doubt, Christ's two natures, and the apostolic authority to forgive sins from John 20:19-29, with references also to John 16 and Ezekiel. He distinguishes Thomas's demand for evidence from unbelief, and describes Christ appearing through locked doors, showing His wounds, and greeting the disciples with peace. The homily uses the stone rolled from the tomb, the sealed doors, and the Virgin birth to speak of Christ's divine power, while His eating, sleeping, weeping, and questioning show His humanity; Proclus of Constantinople is cited for this balance. Christ's breathing on the apostles is interpreted as instituting confession and transmitting grace through apostolic succession.
