John 20:24-29

Jesus and Thomas

24 Now o Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, 1 was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, p "Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe."

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. q Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, q "Peace be with you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, r "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe." 28 Thomas answered him, s "My Lord and my God!" 29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? t Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
