John 20:24-29 But one of the twelve apostles, named Thomas, and also called “The Twin,” was not with them when Jesus came.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ But one of the twelve apostles, named Thomas, [and also] called “The Twin,” was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ So, the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he replied to them, “I will not believe [it] unless I see the scars of the nails in His hands, and put my finger on the nail scars, and put my hand in His side.” ²⁶ Eight days later [i.e., the following Sunday], Jesus’ disciples were inside [the house] again, [but this time] Thomas was with them. The doors were [still] closed when Jesus [suddenly] stood among them [See note on verse 19] and said, “May there be peace in your hearts.” ²⁷ Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here [i.e., to touch the nail scars] and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side [i.e., where the spear had pierced Him]. Stop doubting and believe [that it is really I].” ²⁸ Thomas replied to Him, “My Lord and my God.” ²⁹ Jesus said to him, “Have you believed [that I am alive] because you have seen me? Those who have not seen me and yet believe are [even more] blessed.”
