John 20:24-31

Living Bible

²⁴ One of the disciples, Thomas, “The Twin,” was not there at the time with the others. ²⁵ When they kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord,” he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands—and put my fingers into them—and place my hand into his side.”

²⁶ Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them and greeting them.

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger into my hands. Put your hand into my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”

²⁸ “My Lord and my God!” Thomas said.

²⁹ Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. But blessed are those who haven’t seen me and believe anyway.”

^30-31 Jesus’ disciples saw him do many other miracles besides the ones told about in this book, but these are recorded so that you will believe that he is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that believing in him you will have life.
