John 20:24-29

Jesus and Thomas

24 Now ¹Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin,^[a] was not with them when Jesus came.

25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, ²"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. ³Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ⁴"Peace be with you."

27 Then he said to Thomas, ⁵"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, ⁶"My Lord and my God!"

29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed because you have seen me? ⁷Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
