John 20:19-29

19When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.

20And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.

21[Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.

22And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

23whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

26And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace [be] to you.

27Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.

28Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my 1God.

29Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.
