24:39 Look at my hands and my feet; it’s me! ¹  Touch me and see; a ghost ²  does not have flesh and bones like you see I have.”

John 20:27

20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put ³  your finger here, and examine ⁴  my hands. Extend ⁵  your hand and put it ⁶  into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.” ⁷ 

¹ tn Grk “that it is I myself.”
