Believe!

Passage: John 20:19-20, 24-31

L: 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!” 20After he said this, he showed them his hands
and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord... 24 Now
Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when
Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But
Thomas said to them,
C: “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.”
L: 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!” 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.” 28Thomas said to him,
C: “My Lord and my God!”
L: 29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;
blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” 30Jesus did many
other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded
in this book. 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.
