And as they went to bring word to His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Greetings! And they came and held Him by the feet and did homage to Him.

And when they saw Him, they did homage to Him; but some doubted.

And Thomas answered and said to Him, My Lord and my God!

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosened my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

You have heard Me say to you, I am going away and coming back to you. If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, I am going to the Father, for My Father is greater than I.
