John 20:19-29

ACV(i) 19 Therefore being evening that day, the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were who assembled because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you. 20 And having said this, he showed them his hands and side. His disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you. 22 And after saying this, he breathed on them, and says to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit. 23 If ye forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If ye retain of any, they are retained. 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I may see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will, no, not believe. 26 And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace to you. 27 Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put into my side, and do not become faithless, but believing. 28 Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus says to him, Because thou have seen me, thou have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed.
