"My time is not yet come," said Jesus, "but your time is always at hand.

"I am giving them eternal life, and they shall never perish, nor shall any one snatch them out of my hand.

"My Father who has given them to me is stronger than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.

Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie him, and let him go."

Accordingly the other disciples kept telling him, "We have seen the Lord." But he told them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and thrust my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

Then to Thomas he said: "Place your finger here, and see my hands; and place your hand here, and thrust it into my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing."
