²⁶ Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. ^(A)Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ^(B)“Peace be with you.” ²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, ^(C)“Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” ²⁸ Thomas answered him, ^(D)“My Lord and my God!” ²⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? ^(E)Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

The Purpose of This Book

^30 (F)Now Jesus did many other signs ^(G)in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; ^31 (H)but these are written so that you may ^(I)believe that Jesus is the Christ, ^(J)the Son of God, and that by believing ^(K)you may have life ^(L)in his name.

²⁴ This is the disciple ^(A)who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and ^(B)we know ^(C)that his testimony is true.
