²⁷ then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put `it' to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.'

²⁵ the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.'

⁴⁰ And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the feet,

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the Life --

² and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was with the Father, and was manifested to us --

¹⁴ and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that `is' in Christ Jesus:

¹⁵ stedfast `is' the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

¹⁶ but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

²⁰ And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

²⁰ and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'

¹⁹ And he answering him, said, `O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'

¹³ As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.

¹⁴ For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we `are' dust.

³⁸ And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.
