Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the
disciples when Jesus came. 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."
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!" Then he said to Thomas, "Put your
finger here, see my hands. Reach out your hand and and put it into my
side. Stop doubting and believe."
Thomas
said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because
you have seen me you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen
and yet have believed." John 20:24-29
