John 20:19-31

19NowG3767 when it was eveningG3798 on that dayG2250, the firstG1520 day of the weekG4521, and when the doorsG2374 were 1shutG2808 whereG3699 the disciplesG3101 were together dueG1223 to 2fearG5401 of the 3JewsG2453, JesusG2424 cameG2064 and stoodG2476 in their midstG3319, and saidG3004 to them, “4PeaceG1515 be to you.” 20And when He had saidG3004 thisG3778, 5He showedG1166 them bothG2532 His handsG5495 and His sideG4125. The disciplesG3101 thenG3767 6rejoicedG5463 when they sawG3708 the LordG2962. 21SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them againG3825, “7PeaceG1515 be to you; 8justG2531 asG2531 the FatherG3962 has sentG649 Me, I alsoG2532 sendG3992 you.” 22And when He had saidG3004 thisG3778, He breathedG1720 onG1720 them and saidG3004 to them, “ReceiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 239IfG302 you forgiveG863 the sinsG266 of anyG5100, their sins 10have been forgivenG863 them; ifG302 you retainG2902 the sins of anyG5100, they have been retainedG2902.”

24But 11ThomasG2381, oneG1520 of 12the twelveG1427, whoG3588 was calledG3004 1314DidymusG1324, 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 15His handsG5495 the imprintG5179 of the nailsG2247, and putG906 my fingerG1147 into the placeG5117 of the nailsG2247, and putG906 my handG5495 into His sideG4125, 16I will not believeG4100.”

2617EightG3638 daysG2250 laterG3326 His disciplesG3101 were againG3825 insideG2080, and ThomasG2381 was with them. JesusG2424 cameG2064, the doorsG2374 having been 18shutG2808, and stoodG2476 in their midstG3319 and saidG3004, “19PeaceG1515 be to you.” 27ThenG1534 He saidG3004 to ThomasG2381, “20PlaceG5342 your fingerG1147 hereG5602, and seeG3708 My handsG5495; and takeG5342 your handG5495 and putG906 it into My sideG4125; and do not continueG1096 in disbeliefG571, but be a believerG4103.” 28ThomasG2381 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to Him, “My LordG2962 and my GodG2316!” 29JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “BecauseG3754 you have seenG3708 Me, have you now believedG4100? 21BlessedG3107 are they who did not seeG3708, and yet believedG4100.”

3022SoG3767 thenG3767, manyG4183 otherG243 2324signsG4592 JesusG2424 alsoG2532 performedG4160 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 the disciplesG3101, whichG3739 are not writtenG1125 in thisG3778 bookG975; 31but theseG3778 have been writtenG1125 25soG2443 thatG2443 you may believeG4100 that JesusG2424 is the 26ChristG5547, 27the SonG5207 of GodG2316; and that by 28believingG4100 you may haveG2192 lifeG2222 in His nameG3686.
