John 20:17-31

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, Do not thou touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene came, telling to the disciples, That I saw the Lord, and these things he said to me.

¹⁹Therefore when it was even or eventide in that day, in one of the sabbaths, and the gates were shut, where the disciples were gathered, for dread of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the middle of the disciples, and he saith to them, Peace be to you.

²⁰And when he had said this, he showed to them his hands and side; therefore the disciples joyed, for the Lord was seen.

²¹And he saith to them again, Peace to you; as the Father sent me, I send you.

²²When he had said this, he blew on them, and said, Take ye the Holy Ghost;

²³whose sins ye forgive, those be forgiven to them; and whose sins ye withhold, those be withheld.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, that is said Didymus, was not with them, when Jesus came.

²⁵Therefore the other disciples said, We have seen the Lord. And he said to them, But I see in his hands the printing of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put mine hand into his side, I shall not believe.

²⁶And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, while the gates were shut, and stood in the middle, and said, Peace to you.

²⁷Afterward he saith to Thomas, Put in here thy finger, and see mine hands, and put hither thine hand, and put it into my side, and do not thou be unbelieveful, but faithful.

²⁸Thomas answered, and said to him, My Lord and my God.

²⁹Jesus saith to him, Thomas, for thou hast seen me, thou believedest; blessed be they, that saw not, and have believed.

³⁰And Jesus did many other signs in the sight of his disciples, which be not written in this book.

³¹But these be written, that ye believe, that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God, and that ye believing have life in his name.
