The widely used King James Version gives Jesus' words to Mary as follows: "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father." Then he told her to go tell the disciples about his resurrection and coming ascension. (John 20:17) Modern speech clarifies Jesus' meaning, as we see by An American Translation's rendering: "You must not cling to me, for I have not yet gone up to my Father." It was not a question of her touching Jesus; she had not only touched him but was clinging to him, doubtless fearful that he would vanish and ascend into heaven. Jesus assured her that he was not going yet, and that she should stop clinging to him but go tell his disciples what had happened. That same day Jesus appeared to other disciples, but Thomas was not present and later said he would not believe it till he saw the nail wounds on Jesus and had thrust his hand into Jesus' speared side. A few days later Jesus did appear to the disciples when Thomas was present, and he invited Thomas to touch the wounds. (John 20:25-27) In both instances Jesus had good reasons for speaking as he did, and there is no contradiction or inconsistency between the two cases.

What evidence for the resurrection does John present?
The evidence that John presents for the resurrection of Jesus somewhat contradicts the evidence of the other gospels, but is closest to Luke, the synoptic gospel that John's Gospel most closely resembles.In John's Gospel, the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples in the upper room and showed them his wounds, but Thomas was not present. Eight days later, Jesus again appeared to the disciples, this time with Thomas present, and offered to let Thomas touch his wounds. These appearances, and the later appearance at the Sea of Galilee, are provided as evidence of the resurrection, and the wounds are the evidence that this really was Jesus, in the flesh.

Will Jesus Christ ever come back to life?
He already did. He was crucified on Good Friday. On the third day, which Christians celebrate as Easter, He rose from the dead and was alive again. Not His spirit or ghost, but the real flesh and blood Jesus. He continued to appear many different places for 40 days. At that time he ascended into Heaven. He spoke with his disciples and told them to tell the entire world how He lived again. A disciple named Thomas met Jesus on the road after his resurrection, and Thomas was stunned and frightened, not believing his own eyes. Jesus let Thomas touch him so he would know He had risen just as promised. Thomas could see the nail holes in His palms and feet and he finally believed. This is where the old saying Doubting Thomas originated from.
