Read John 20 in full →
24But aThomas, one of bthe twelve, called 1,cDidymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in aHis hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, bI will not believe.”
26And 1after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been 2shut, and stood in their midst and said, aPeace be with you.” 27Then He *said to Thomas, aBring your finger here, and see My hands; and bring your hand here and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29Jesus *said to him, Because you have seen Me, have you believed? aBlessed are those who did not see, and yet believed.”
