John 20:20-27

20When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

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

22And after he said this, he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone’s sins, they are retained.”

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

25The other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!”

26Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although 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 examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.”
