It was late that Sunday evening, and the disciples were gathered together behind locked doors, because they were afraid of the Jewish authorities. Then Jesus came and stood among them. "Peace be with you," he said.

Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I send you."

If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."

So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" Thomas said to them, "Unless I see the scars of the nails in his hands and put my finger on those scars and my hand in his side, I will not believe."

Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands; then reach out your hand and put it in my side. Stop your doubting, and believe!"

Jesus said to him, "Do you believe because you see me? How happy are those who believe without seeing me!"

But after I am raised to life, I will go to Galilee ahead of you."

Go quickly now, and tell his disciples, 'He has been raised from death, and now he is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him!' Remember what I have told you."

The eleven disciples went to the hill in Galilee where Jesus had told them to go.

Now go and give this message to his disciples, including Peter: 'He is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him, just as he told you.' "

After this, Jesus went across Lake Galilee (or, Lake Tiberias, as it is also called).

Other boats, which were from Tiberias, came to shore near the place where the crowd had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
