Zone1 What Jesus really said to the thief on the cross.

[Woodznutz]

You change the meaning using cling instead of touch. She may have just wanted to know if it was really Jesus or the devil deceiving her. Also, to allow her to attempt to hold or cling would be deceiving because he wasn't resurrected yet. To allow it would make Jesus the deceiver.

Cling is a better word for the event. When Jesus spoke her name, she knew it was him. She would have rushed to embrace him. Why he refused her is uncertain.

Was it, "hey, do you have a smoke?"
