John 20:24-31 NIV
24 Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the
Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25 So 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."
26 A 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!"
27 Then 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."
28 Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have
believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have
believed."
30 Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of
his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
31 But these are written that
you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that
by believing you may have life in his name.
