John 20: 24 - 31
24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of
the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the
other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to
them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger
where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not
believe it." 26A week later his disciples were in the house again,
and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came
and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said
to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand
and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." 28Thomas said
to him, "My Lord and my God!" 29Then Jesus told him, "Because you
have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen
and yet have believed." 30Jesus did many other miraculous signs in
the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
31But these are written that you may[a] believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in
his name.
