But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and blood and water flowed out immediately.

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

But the rest said, “Leave him alone! Let’s see if Elijah will come to save him.”

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and examine my hands. Extend your hand and put it into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.”

The other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the wounds from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!”

Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.
