Mary Magdalene ran and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord
and gave them His message. In the evening of that first day of the
week, where the disciples were assembled with the doors locked for fear
of the Jews, Jesus appeared and stood in their midst. He said to them,
Peace be to you. When He said this, He showed them His hands and His
side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Then Jesus said to
them again, Peace be to you; as my Father has sent me, even so send I
you. When He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them,
Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them; and
whose sins you retain, they are retained.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came. The other disciples told him, We have seen the Lord. But he
said to them, Unless I see the print of the nails in His hands, and put
my finger into the nailprints, and thrust my hand into His side, I will
not believe.
Eight days passed. The disciples were inside with the doors closed and
Thomas was with them. Then Jesus appeared and stood in their midst. He
said, Peace be to you. Then He said to Thomas, put your finger here and
see my hands; and put you hand into my side. Do not doubt but believe.
Thomas said to Him, My Lord and my God. Jesus said, Thomas, because you
have seen me you believe. Blessed are they who have not seen and yet
believe.
And many other signs truly did Jesus do in the presence of His
disciples that are not written in this book. But these are written that
you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that,
believing, you will have life through His Name.
21. After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples at
the sea of Tiberias. Seven of His disciples were gathered together:
Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
James and John who were the sons of Zebedee, and two others.
Simon Peter said to the group, I am going fishing. They said to him, We
will go with you. They went out and got into a fishing boat. They were
out all night and caught nothing.
At dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not
know it was Jesus. Then Jesus called to them, Children, have you caught
anything? They answered, No. Jesus said, Cast the net on the right side
of the boat and you will find some. When they threw the net over the
right side, they were unable to draw it in because of the number of
fish in the net. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It
is the Lord.
When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he drew up his fishing
robe and dove into the water. The other disciples came in the boat,
dragging the net with the fish. They were only about a hundred yards
from shore. When they climbed out of the boat, they saw a charcoal fire
already laid with fish. And there was also bread. Jesus said, Bring the
fish you caught.
