英语词汇doubting thomas的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

doubting Thomas. History’s first doubting Thomas was St. Thomas, one of the 12 apostles. Because he doubted the resur- rection of Christ (John 20:24–29) and questioned Christ in an earlier passage in the Bible (John 14:5) early readers of the Scriptures gave his name to any faithless doubter. Thomas, however, reformed when the resurrected Christ let him touch the wounds he suffered on the cross and admonished him, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” Tradi- tion has it that later, when no longer a doubter, Thomas went on a mission to India where a king gave him a large sum to build a magnificent palace. He spent the money on food for the poor instead, “erecting a superb palace in Heaven,” and so be- came the patron saint of masons and architects.
