John 20:19-31
“19 Then the same day at evening, being the
first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were
assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith
unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto
them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the
Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be
unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on
them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are
remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called
Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto
him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his
hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails,
and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples
were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy
finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my
side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My
Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou
hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet
have believed.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in
the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But these are written, that ye might
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might
have life through his name.”
Praise ye the Lord!!!
