John 20:21-31

21JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 to them againG3825, PeaceG1515 be unto you: as the FatherG3962 hath sentG649 me, even so sendG3992 I you. 22And when he had saidG3004 this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, ReceiveG2983 ye the HolyG40 SpiritG4151: 23whose soever sinsG266 ye forgiveG863, they are forgivenG863 unto them; whose soever sinsG266 ye retain, they are retained.

24But ThomasG2381, oneG1520 of the twelveG1427, called DidymusG1324, wasG1510 not with them whenG3753 JesusG2424 cameG2064. 25The otherG243 disciplesG3101 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto him, We have seenG3708 the LordG2962. But he saidG3004 unto them, Except I shall seeG3708 in his handsG5495 the print of the nailsG2247, and putG906 my fingerG1147 into the print of the nailsG2247, and putG906 my handG5495 into his sideG4125, I will not believeG4100.

26And after eightG3638 daysG2250 againG3825 his disciplesG3101 wereG1510 within, and ThomasG2381 with them. JesusG2424 cometh, the doorsG2374 beingG1510 shutG2808, and stoodG2476 in the midstG3319, and saidG3004, PeaceG1515 beG1510 unto you. 27Then saith he to ThomasG2381, Reach hither thy fingerG1147, and seeG3708 my handsG5495; and reach hither thy handG5495, and putG906 it into my sideG4125: and be not faithless, but believing. 28ThomasG2381 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, My LordG2962 and my GodG2316. 29JesusG2424 saith unto him, Because thou hast seenG3708 me, thou hast believedG4100: blessed are they that have not seenG3708, and yet have believedG4100.

30ManyG4183 otherG243 signsG4592 thereforeG3767 did JesusG2424 in the presenceG1799 of the disciplesG3101, which areG1510 not writtenG1125 in this bookG975: 31but these areG1510 writtenG1125, that ye may believeG4100 that JesusG2424 isG1510 the ChristG5547, the SonG5207 of GodG2316; and that believingG4100 ye may have lifeG2222 in his nameG3686.
