Story Time
The Lord Jesus was buried in a tomb. He spent three days in the tomb. After three days, the Lord
was raised. The disciples assembled in the upper room because they were afraid of the Jews so they had
closed and locked the doors.
On Sunday evening, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to His disciples, "Peace be with
you." When He had said this He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when
they saw the Lord. Then He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive
the sins of any, they are forgiven. If you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
NowThomas was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen
the Lord," but he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the
mark of the nails, and place my hand in His side, I will not believe."
Eight days later, His disciples were again in the upper room, and Thomas was with them. The
doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Pease be with you." Then He said to
Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands, and put your hand on My side, do not be faithless but
believing." Thomas answered Him, "My Lord and my God." Thomas believed in the Lord.
