Jesus the Way to the Father

⁵ Thomas^(A) said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

¹⁶ Then Thomas^(A) (also known as Didymus^[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”

¹⁹ “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

²⁵ So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side,^(A) I will not believe.”^(B)

²⁶ A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace^(C) be with you!”^{(D) 27} Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”^(E)

²⁸ Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

¹² My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.^(A)
