12. As it happened Thomas one of the twelve who was also called 'the Twin' was not with them when Jesus came. Therefore when the other disciples said to him "We have seen the Lord" he said to them "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the place of the nails and also put my hand into his side, I will definitely not believe." Then after eight days his (Jesus') disciples were again assembled within the room. Thomas was with them. The doors were shut but Jesus comes again. Standing in their midst he said "Peace to you." Then he says to Thomas. "Bring your finger here and see my hands.Bring your
|
hand (here) and put it into my side. Do not be faithless but rather Thomas answered and said to him "My Lord and my God." Jesus says to him "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
Now there were many other signs that Jesus worked before the disciples which have not been written in this scroll. But these signs here, have been written about, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
