each hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless,
but believing."
Thomas answered and said unto him, "My Lord and my God."
Jesus saith unto him, "Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:
blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
THE APPEARANCE TO THE SEVEN BY THE SEA.
After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at
the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested himself on this wise. There were
together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus and Nathanael of Cana in
Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
Simon Peter saith unto them, "I go a fishing."
They say unto him, "We also come with thee."
They went forth, and entered into the boat; and that night they took
nothing. But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet
the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
Jesus therefore saith unto them, "Children, have ye aught to eat?"
They answered him, "No."
And he said unto them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and

the net was not rent.
Jesus saith unto them, "Come and break your fast."
And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, "Who art thou?" knowing
that it was the Lord.
Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise.
This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead.
So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, "Simon,
son of John, lovest thou me more than these?"
He saith unto him, "Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee."
He saith unto him, "Feed my lambs."
He saith unto him again a second ti
