Gospel — John 20:24 - 31

LEB translation

John 20:24 - 31

20:24 Thomas Doubts But Later Believes Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
20:25 So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!”
20:26 And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Although the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said, “Peace to you.”
20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Place your finger here and see my hands, and place your hand and put it into my side. And do not be unbelieving, but believing!”
20:28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
20:29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, have you believed? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
20:30 Why This Book Was Written Now Jesus also performed many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not recorded in this book,
20:31 but these things are recorded in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
