b'JOHN 20:19-31\\n\\n19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, \\u201cPeace be with you!\\u201d 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. \\n21 Again Jesus said, \\u201cPeace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.\\u201d 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, \\u201cReceive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.\\u201d \\n24 Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, \\u201cWe have seen the Lord!\\u201d \\nBut he said to them, \\u201cUnless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.\\u201d \\n26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, \\u201cPeace be with you!\\u201d 27 Then he said to Thomas, \\u201cPut your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.\\u201d \\n28 Thomas said to him, \\u201cMy Lord and my God!\\u201d \\n29 Then Jesus told him, \\u201cBecause you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.\\u201d \\n30 Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.'
