On the first day of the week, and, as his disciples hid behind locked doors in the wake of their Master's crucifixion, Jesus came and stood among them, saying, "Peace be with you."

"Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, 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 the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.'"
