The Response of Thomas

20:24 Now Thomas (called Didymus),40 one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 20:25 The other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied,41 “Unless I see the wounds42 from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!”43

20:26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house,44 and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked,45 Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put46 your finger here, and examine47 my hands. Extend48 your hand and put it49 into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.”50 20:28 Thomas replied to him,51 “My Lord and my God!”52 20:29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the people53 who have not seen and yet have believed.”54

20:30 Now Jesus performed55 many other miraculous signs in the presence of the56 disciples, which are not recorded57 in this book.58 20:31 But these59 are recorded60 so that you may believe61 that Jesus is the Christ,62 the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.63
