John 20:24-29    New Living Translation (NLT)

Jesus Appears to Thomas

²⁴ One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),^[a] was not with the others when Jesus came. ²⁵ They told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.”

²⁶ Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. ²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”

²⁸ “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed.

²⁹ Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”

[Elsie]

LORD; we still have Thomas among us.

You said that where two are three are gathered in your Name; that you'd be with them.

Well; I know that MORE than two or three FReepers, that believe on your name; have gathered in this thread to pray for those who do NOT believe.

Matthew 28:17, 20   King James Version (KJV)

 

¹⁷ And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

‎ Isaiah 55:11
So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent.
