JOHN 20:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.”
Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe' — Jesus invites Thomas into the very physical verification he demanded, yet the narrative suggests Thomas does not actually touch. The progression from doubt (apistia) to faith occurs through encounter, not through tactile confirmation. Jesus' command 'do not become unbelieving but faithful' (mē ginou apistos alla pistos) calls Thomas from skepticism to trust.
