John 20:19-29

NSB(i) 19 It was evening of the first day of the week. The disciples shut the doors where they stayed for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: »May you have Peace.« 20 When he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus therefore said to them again: »May you have peace. As the Father sent me, even so I send you.« 22 After he said this he breathed on them and said: »Receive Holy Spirit. 23 »Forgive sins and they are forgiven. Do not forgive sins and they are not forgiven.« 24 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.« He said: »Unless I feel the print of the nails in his hands and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.« 26 Eight days later the disciples were inside with the doors shut and Thomas was with them. Jesus came in and stood in the midst, and said: »Peace be with you.« 27 Jesus said to Thomas: »Put your finger here and look at my hands. Put your hand into my side. Stop doubting and believe!« 28 Thomas answered: »My Lord and my God!« (John 1:18; 10:36; 20:17) 29 Jesus said to him: »Because you saw me, you believe. Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believe!«
