John 20:26-31

26 After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, "Peace to you!"
27 Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don't be an unbeliever, but a believer."
28 Thomas responded to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Jesus said, "Because you have seen Me, you have believed. [a] Those who believe without seeing are blessed."

The Purpose of This Gospel

30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book.
31 But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,[b] and by believing you may have life in His name.
