John 20:19–29

Christ Appears to the Disciples (Thomas Absent)

Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36–43

^19sThen, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were ⁵assembled, for ^tfear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, ^u“Peace be with you.” ²⁰When He had said this, He ^vshowed them His hands and His side. ^wThen the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

²¹So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! ^xAs the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” ²²And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. ^23yIf you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

²⁴Now Thomas, ^zcalled the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”

So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

Christ Appears to the Disciples (Thomas Present)

1 Cor. 15:5

²⁶And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” ²⁷Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and ^areach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be ^bunbelieving, but believing.”

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

²⁹Jesus said to him, ⁶“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. ^cBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
