24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the ^dTwin,¹ was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” ^eBut he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will ^fnever believe.”

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, ^g“Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, ^h“My Lord and ⁱmy God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have ^jseen me? Blessed are those who have ^knot seen and yet have believed.”
