Jn. 20:19‑29• 19Y como fué tarde aquel día, el primero de la semana, y estando las puertas cerradas donde los discípulos estaban juntos por miedo de los Judíos, vino Jesús, y púsose en medio, y díjoles: Paz á vosotros.
 20Y como hubo dicho esto, mostróles las manos y el costado. Y los discípulos se gozaron viendo al Señor.
 21Entonces les dijo Jesús otra vez: Paz á vosotros: como me envió el Padre, así también yo os envío.
 22Y como hubo dicho esto, sopló, y díjoles: Tomad el Espíritu Santo:
 23A los que remitiereis los pecados, les son remitidos: á quienes los retuviereis, serán retenidos.
 24Empero Tomás, uno de los doce, que se dice el Dídimo, no estaba con ellos cuando Jesús vino.
 25Dijéronle pues los otros discípulos: Al Señor hemos visto. Y él les dijo: Si no viere en sus manos la señal de los clavos, y metiere mi dedo en el lugar de los clavos, y metiere mi mano en su costado, no creeré.
 26Y ocho días después, estaban otra vez sus discípulos dentro, y con ellos Tomás. Vino Jesús, las puertas cerradas, y púsose en medio, y dijo: Paz á vosotros.
 27Luego dice á Tomás: Mete tu dedo aquí, y ve mis manos: y alarga acá tu mano, y métela en mi costado: y no seas incrédulo, sino fiel.
 28Entonces Tomás respondió, y díjole: Señor mío, y Dios mío!
 29Dícele Jesús: Porque me has visto, Tomás, creiste: bienaventurados los que no vieron y creyeron. (Jn. 20:19‑29)

• First, we have seen Him (after making Himself known to Mary of Magdala and sending by her a most characteristic message to His disciples) standing in their midst when gathered together, without seeing Him enter….Secondly, we have seen Him eight days after meeting His disciples again when Thomas was there, representing saved Israel of the latter day who only believe by the sight of Him risen. Now we have the beautiful picture of the millennial ingathering from the sea of Gentiles, which follows the Jews returning as such to the Lord, as all prophecy leads us to expect.
