John 20:27 - Forerunner Commentary

John 20:27

25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!”

27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and ^areach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be ^bunbelieving, but believing.”

28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Jesus said to him,¹ “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. ^aBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
