John 20:24-29

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.”
