and said: Peace be to you.
20:27. Then he said to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither and see my
hands. And bring hither the hand and put it into my side. And be not
faithless, but believing.
20:28. Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God.
20:29. Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen and have believed.
20:30. Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples,
which are not written in this book.
20:31. But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his
name.
John Chapter 21
Christ manifests himself to his disciples by the sea side and gives
