, they are retained.
(24)Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, the twin, was
not with them when Jesus came. (25)Then the other disciples said to
him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except I should see in
his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of
the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I shall never believe it.
(26)And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas
with them: Jesus cometh, though the doors were fastened, and stood in
the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. (27)Afterwards he spake to
Thomas, Bring hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and take thy
hand, and thrust into my side: and be not incredulous, but a believer.
(28)And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God!
(29)Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, hast thou
believed: blessed are they who though they have not seen me, yet have
believed.
(30)Now many other miracles did Jesus therefore also in the presence of
his disciples, which are not written in this book: (31)but these are
written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of
God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

AFTER these things Jesus again shewed himself to the disciples at the
sea of Tiberias; and he appeared in the following manner: (2)Simon
Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, the twin, and Nathaniel who was of
Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of the
disciples were together. (3)Simon Peter said to them, I am going
a-fishing. They say to him, We too will go with thee. They went out,
and got on board the vessel immediately; and that night they caught
nothing. (4)But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood upon the
beach: yet the disciples had not discovered that it was Jesus. (5)Then
saith Jesus unto them, My youths, have ye any thing eatable? They
answered him, No. (6)Then he said to them, Shoot the net on the right
side of the vessel, and ye shall find fish. They shot it therefore, and
now they were not able to drag it in from the quantity of fishes.
(7)Then said that disciple whom Jesus loved to Peter, It is the Lord!
Then Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat
round him, (for he was stripped,) and threw himself into the sea.
(8)And the other disciples came in the little vessel, (for they were
not far from land, only about two hundred cubits,) dragging the net
with the fishes
