John 20:21-31
21SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them againG3825, “1PeaceG1515 be with you; 2as the FatherG3962 has sentG649 Me, I alsoG2532 sendG3992 you.” 22And when He had saidG3004 thisG3778, He breathedG1720 on them and saidG3004 to them, “ReceiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 233IfG302 you forgiveG863 the sinsG266 of anyG5100, their sins 4have been forgivenG863 them; ifG302 you retainG2902 the sins of anyG5100, they have been retainedG2902.”
24But 5ThomasG2381, oneG1520 of 6the twelveG1427, calledG3004 78DidymusG1324, was not with them whenG3753 JesusG2424 cameG2064. 25SoG3767 the otherG243 disciplesG3101 were sayingG3004 to him, “We have seenG3708 the LordG2962!” But he saidG3004 to them, “UnlessG1437G3361 I seeG3708 in 9His handsG5495 the imprintG5179 of the nailsG2247, and putG906 my fingerG1147 into the placeG5117 of the nailsG2247, and putG906 my handG5495 into His sideG4125, 10I will not believeG4100.”
2611AfterG3326 eightG3638 daysG2250 His disciplesG3101 were againG3825 insideG2080, and ThomasG2381 with them. JesusG2424 cameG2064, the doorsG2374 having been 12shutG2808, and stoodG2476 in their midstG3319 and saidG3004, “13PeaceG1515 be with you.” 27ThenG1534 He saidG3004 to ThomasG2381, “14ReachG5342 hereG5602 with your fingerG1147, and seeG3708 My handsG5495; and reachG5342 here your handG5495 and putG906 it into My sideG4125; and do not be unbelievingG571, but believingG4103.” 28ThomasG2381 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “My LordG2962 and my GodG2316!” 29JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “BecauseG3754 you have seenG3708 Me, have you believedG4100? 15BlessedG3107 are they who did not seeG3708, and yet believedG4100.”
3016ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 otherG243 1718signsG4592 JesusG2424 alsoG2532 performedG4160 in the presenceG1799 of the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 are not writtenG1125 in thisG3778 bookG975; 31but theseG3778 have been writtenG1125 19soG2443 that you may believeG4100 that JesusG2424 is 20the ChristG5547, 21the SonG5207 of GodG2316; and that 22believingG4100 you may haveG2192 lifeG2222 in His nameG3686.
