John 20:25 in context

The verses around it, from John 20.

21 Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

22 When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”

24 Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.

25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”

26 Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

27 Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”

28 Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
