John 20:24–31

²⁴But ^aThomas, one of ^bthe twelve, called ¹Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in ^aHis hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, ^bI will not believe.”

²⁶¹After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been ²shut, and stood in their midst and said, “^aPeace be with you.”

²⁷Then He said to Thomas, “^aReach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

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

²⁹Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? ^aBlessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”

Why This Gospel Was Written

^30aTherefore many other ^1bsigns Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

³¹but these have been written ^aso that you may believe that Jesus is ¹the Christ, ^bthe Son of God; and that ^cbelieving you may have life in His name.
