On the
evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where
the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them
and said to them, "Peace be with you." |
| 20 |
When he had said
this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad
when they saw the Lord. |
| 21 |
Jesus said to them
again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." |
| 22 |
And when he had
said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. |
| 23 |
If you forgive the
sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are
retained." |
| 24 |
Now Thomas, one
of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. |
| 25 |
So the other disciples
told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in
his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the
nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe." |
| 26 |
Eight days later,
his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors
were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "Peace be with
you." |
| 27 |
Then he said to
Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand,
and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing." |
| 28 |
Thomas answered
him, "My Lord and my God!" |
| 29 |
Jesus said to him,
"Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have
not seen and yet believe." |
| 30 |
Now Jesus did many
other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in
this book; |
| 31 |
but these are written
that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that
believing you may have life in his name. |
