Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 ^cOn the evening ^dof that day, the first day of the week, ^ethe doors being locked where the disciples were ^ffor fear of the Jews, ^{▼▼Greek Ioudaioi probably refers here to Jewish religious leaders, and others under their influence, in that time} Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ^h“Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, ⁱhe showed them his hands and his side. Then ^jthe disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As ^kthe Father has sent me, ^leven so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he ^mbreathed on them and said to them, ⁿ“Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 ^oIf you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”

Jesus and Thomas

24 Now ^pThomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, ^{▼▼Greek Didymus} was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, ^r“Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. ^sAlthough the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ^t“Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, ^u“Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, ^v“My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? ^wBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verse 15}
