John 20:19-31

20:19

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, "Peace be with you!"

20:20

After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

20:21

Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."

20:22

And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

20:23

If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."

20:24

Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.

20:25

So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"  But he said to them, "Unless 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."

20:26

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, "Peace be with you!"

20:27

Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."

20:28

Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"

20:29

Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

20:30

Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.

20:31

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.

Matthew

18:20

For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.

20:7

On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight.

Luke

24:36

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."

24:37

They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.

24:38

He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your minds?

24:39

Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."

24:40

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

24:41

And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

24:42

They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

24:43

and he took it and ate it in their presence.

that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.

15:6

After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem , and in all Judea and Samaria , and to the ends of the earth."

We live by faith, not by sight.
