John 20:20-27

20Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

22After saying this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

24But Thomas (called “Twin”), one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

25So the other disciples were telling him, “We’ve seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in his hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

26A week later his disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even 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 and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don’t be faithless, but believe.”
