e twelve disciples, who was called "The Twin," was
not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples told him, "We have
seen the Master." But he said to them, "Unless I see the marks of the
nails in his hands and put my finger where they were and put my hand in
his side, I will not believe."

Eight days later Jesus' disciples were again together, and Thomas was
with them. Though the doors were closed, Jesus came and stood among them
and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger
here and look at my hands, and put your hand here in my side. Do not be
a doubter but a believer." Thomas answered him, "My Master and my God!"
Jesus said to him, "You believe because you have seen me? Blessed are
those who believe though they have never seen me!"

Later Jesus appeared to his disciples by the Sea of Galilee, and in this

and you will catch something." So they threw over the net, and now they
could not haul it in because of the great number of fish. Then the
disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Master." As soon as
Simon Peter heard that it was the Master, he put on his fisherman's coat
(for he was stripped for his work), and jumped into the water; but the
other disciples, being only about one hundred yards from the shore, came
in the small boat dragging the net full of fish.

When they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning, and over it a fish
cooking, and some bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish
that you have just caught." So Simon Peter went aboard the boat and
hauled the net ashore filled with large fish; and although there were so
many, the net was not torn. Then Jesus said to them, "Come and eat
breakfast." Not one of the disciples had courage to ask, "Who are you?"
for they knew that it was the Master. Jesus came and gave them the bread
