Jesus Appears to Thomas

²⁴ One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),^[a] was not with the others when Jesus came.

¹⁶ Thomas, nicknamed the Twin,^[a] said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too—and die with Jesus.”

²⁵ And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

⁶⁶ At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. ⁶⁷ Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?”

² Several of the disciples were there—Simon Peter, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),^[a] Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples.

⁵ “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

²⁰ For where two or three gather together as my followers,^[a] I am there among them.”
