John 20:29

Thou hast believed (pepisteukav). Perfect active indicative. Probably interrogative, but "it was sight, not touch that convinced Thomas" (Bernard).

And yet (kai). Clear use of kai in the adversative sense. Thomas made a noble confession, but he missed the highest form of faith without the evidence of the senses. Peter (I Peter 1:8) uses language that seems like a reminiscence of the words of Jesus to Thomas which Peter heard.
