John 20:19-29

Living_Oracles(i) 19 In the evening of that day, the first of the week, Jesus came where the disciples were convened, (the doors having been shut, for the fear of the Jews,) and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you. 20 Having said this, he showed them his hand and his side. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced when they saw it was their Master. 21 Jesus said again to them, Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, so do I send you. 22 After these words, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 Whose sins soever you remit, are remitted to them; and whose sins soever you retain, are retained. 24 Now, Thomas, that is, Didymus, one of the twelve, was not with them, when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples, therefore, said to him, We have seen the Master. But he answered, Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger to the print of the nails, and my hand to his side, I will not believe. 26 Eight days after, the disciples being again in the house, and Thomas with them, Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be to you. 27 Then turning to Thomas, Reach hither your finger, he said, and look at my hands; reach also your hand, and feel my side; and be not incredulous, but believe. 28 Thomas answered, My Lord, and my God! 29 Jesus replied, Because you see me, you believe; happy they, who, having never seen, shall nevertheless believe.
