| 20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the tomb. | | 3 Peter and the other disciple made their way to the sepulchre. | |

| 20:20 And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD. | | 20 After this signal greeting, He showed them His hands and His wounded side. The disciples were overcome with joy when they saw the LORD. | |
| 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you. | | 21 Again Jesus said, "Peace be to you: and as the Father sent me, I now send you. | |

| 20:23 Whomsoever sins all of you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whomsoever sins all of you retain, they are retained. | | 23 "If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; and if the sins of anyone are not forgiven, their sins remain." | |

| 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall 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 will not believe. | | 25 So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the LORD!" His reply was, "Unless I see in His hands the impression made by the nails and touch the wound, and put my hand to His side, I will never believe." | |
| 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. | | 26 Eight days later, the disciples were in the same place with the doors locked again and Thomas was with them: when Jesus appeared in their midst and said, "Peace be to you." | |
| 20:27 Then says he to Thomas, Reach here your finger, and behold my hands; and reach here your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. | | 27 And He said to Thomas, "Bring your finger here and feel my hands; bring your hand here to my side: so that you, having such little faith, do not doubt and thus, believe." | |
| 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God. | | 28 Thomas then exclaimed, "My LORD and my God." | |
| 20:29 Jesus says unto him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. | | 29 "Because you have seen me, Thomas," replied Jesus, "you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believed." | |
