NgokukaJohane 20:19-29

Kwathi-ke kusihlwa ngalolo suku, olokuqala lweviki, iminyango ivaliwe lapho abafundi bekhona ngokwesaba abaJuda, uJesu wafika wema phakathi kwabo, wathi kubo: “Ukuthula makube kinina.” Eseshilo lokho wabakhombisa izandla nohlangothi lwakhe. Base bethokoza abafundi beyibona iNkosi. Khona uJesu wabuye wathi kubo: “Ukuthula makube kinina. Njengokuba uBaba engithume mina, nami ngiyanithuma nina.” Kwathi ukuba asho njalo, wabaphephetha, wathi kubo: “Yamukelani uMoya oNgcwele. Enibathethelela izono zabo bathethelelwe; nenibabamba ngazo babanjiwe.” Kepha uTomase, omunye kwabayishumi nambili, othiwa uDidimu, wayengekho kubo mhla efika uJesu. Ngakho-ke abanye abafundi bathi kuye: “Siyibonile iNkosi.” Kepha wathi kubo: “Uma ngingaboni ezandleni zayo inxeba lezipikili, ngifake umunwe wami enxebeni lezipikili, ngifake isandla sami ohlangothini lwayo, angisoze ngakholwa.” Emva kwezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili abafundi bakhe babesendlini futhi, uTomase enabo. UJesu wafika iminyango ivaliwe, wema phakathi kwabo, wathi: “Ukuthula makube kinina.” Wayesethi kuTomase: “Zisa lapha umunwe wakho, ubone izandla zami; zisa isandla sakho, usifake ohlangothini lwami; ungabi ngongakholwayo kodwa okholwayo.” UTomase waphendula, wathi kuye: “Nkosi yami, Nkulunkulu wami!” UJesu wathi kuye: “Ngokuba ungibonile, ukholiwe na? Babusisiwe abakholwa bengabonanga.”
