WORSHIP
First Gospel
Christos Anesti
We are so very glad you have joined us today and we pray you will be inspired
and encouraged by your time with us
The Orthodox worship service is an ancient and timeless expression of how
people have loved served and worshipped God for many centuries but it may be a bit of
a different experience for you Please feel free to use a service book or not and simply
allow the words of the service to wash over you
The central act of our worship culminates in people receiving communion
This is a very special time for us all and we have some specific beliefs about our com-
munion together This is why we never impose this service on those who are not pre-
pared or are not baptized Orthodox This service may raise questions in your mind
Please feel free to ask Fr Barnabas anything you wish after the service
At the end of the service EVERYONE is invited to come forward and receive a
portion of the ldquoblessed breadrdquo from Fr Barnabas No one should leave church
ldquohungryrdquo
Know you are welcome and we are glad you are here
May God bless you and your family
Apolytikion in honor of Sts Raphael Nicholas amp Irene
Having contended on Lesvos for the sake of Christ God you have sanctified the island
since the discovery of your sacred relics O blessed ones wherefore we honor you O
Godbearing Raphael together with Nicholas and virgin Irene as our divine protectors
and intercessors with the Lord
Prosforo Is lovingly offered by the Prosforo Ministry Team
Please pray for those faithful who are currently in need of our most fervent intercessions

TODAY WE REMEMBER
Thomas Sunday Reading Though the doors were shut at the dwelling where the disciples were
gathered for fear of the Jews on the evening of the Sunday after the Passover our
Saviour wondrously entered and stood in their midst and greeted them with His
customary words Peace be unto you Then He showed unto them His hands and
feet and side furthermore in their presence He took some fish and a honeycomb
and ate before them and thus assured them of His bodily Resurrection But
Thomas who was not then present with the others did not believe their testimony
concerning Christs Resurrection but said in a decisive manner Except I shall
see in His hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the
nails and thrust my hand into His side I will not believe Wherefore after eight
days that is on this day when the disciples were again gathered together and
Thomas was with them the Lord Jesus came while the doors were shut as He did
formerly Standing in their midst He said Peace be unto you then He said to
Thomas Bring hither thy finger and behold my hands and bring hither thy
hand and thrust it into My side and be not unbelieving but believing
And Thomas beholding and examining carefully the hands and side of the Mas-
ter cried out with faith My Lord and my God Thus he clearly proclaimed the
two natures - human and divine - of the God-man (Luke 2436-49 John 2019-
29)
This day is called Antipascha (meaning in the stead of Pascha not in opposi-
tion to Pascha) because with this day the first Sunday after Pascha the Church
consecrates every Sunday of the year to the commemoration of Pascha that is the
Resurrection
Apolytikion in the Grave Tone Whilst the tomb was sealed Thou O Life
didst shine forth from the grave O Christ God and whilst the doors were shut
Thou didst come unto Thy disciples O Resurrection of all renewing through
them an upright Spirit in us according to Thy great mercy
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone With his searching right hand
Thomas did probe Thy lifebestowing side O Christ God for when Thou didst
enter whilst the doors were shut he cried out unto Thee with the rest of the Apos-
tles Thou art my Lord and my God

Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from Acts of the Apostles 512-20
IN THOSE DAYS many signs and wonders were done among the people by
the hands of the apostles And they were all together in Solomons Portico
None of the rest dared join them but the people held them in high honor
And more than ever believers were added to the Lord multitudes both of
men and women so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and
laid them on beds and pallets that as Peter came by at least his shadow
might fall on some of them The people also gathered from the towns around
Jerusalem bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits and they
were all healed But the high priest rose up and all who were with him that
is the party of the Sadducees and filled with jealousy they arrested the apos-
tles and put them in the common prison But at night an angel of the Lord
opened the prison doors and brought them out and said Go and stand in
the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from John 2019-31 On the evening of that day the first day of the week the doors being shut where
the disciples were for fear of the Jews Jesus came and stood among them and
said to them Peace be with you When He had said this He showed them His
hands and His side Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord Jesus
said to them again Peace be with you As the Father has sent me even so I send
you And when He had said this He breathed on them and said to them
Receive the Holy Spirit If you forgive the sins of any they are forgiven if you
retain the sins of any they are retained
Now Thomas one of the twelve called the Twin was not with them when Jesus
came So the other disciples told him We have seen the Lord But he said to
them Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails and place my finger in the
mark of the nails and place my hand in His side I will not believe
Eight days later His disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with
them The doors were shut but Jesus came and stood among them and said
Peace be with you Then He said to Thomas Put your finger here and see
my hands and put out your hand and place it in my side do not be faithless
but believing Thomas answered Him My Lord and my God Jesus said to
Him Have you believed because you have seen me Blessed are those who have
not seen and yet believe
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not
written in this book but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ the Son of God and that believing you may have life in His name

Οὔσης οὖν ὀψίας τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων ὅπου ἦσαν οἱ
μαθηταὶ συνηγμένοι διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον καὶ λέγει
αὐτοῖς εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ ἐχάρησαν
οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες τὸν Κύριον εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς πάλιν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέ
με ὁ πατήρ κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησε καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς λάβετε Πνεῦμα

Θωμᾶς δὲ εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος οὐκ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὅτε ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἔλεγον
οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄλλοι μαθηταί ἑωράκαμεν τὸν Κύριον ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν
αὐτοῦ τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὸν δάκτυλόν μου εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὴν
χεῖρά μου εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσω Καὶ μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ πάλιν ἦσαν ἔσω οἱ
μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ Θωμᾶς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἔρχεται ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ
μέσον καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν εἶτα λέγει τῷ Θωμᾷ φέρε τὸν δάκτυλόν σου ὧδε καὶ ἴδε τὰς χεῖράς μου
καὶ φέρε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ βάλε εἰς τὴν πλευράν μου καὶ μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος ἀλλὰ πιστός καὶ
ἀπεκρίθη Θωμᾶς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὅτι ἑώρακάς
με πεπίστευκας μακάριοι οἱ μὴ ἰδόντες καὶ πιστεύσαντες Πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄλλα σημεῖα
ἐποίησεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐνώπιον τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἃ οὐκ ἔστι γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ ταῦτα
δὲ γέγραπται ἵνα πιστεύσητε ὅτι ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἵνα πιστεύοντες ζωὴν
ἔχητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from John 2019-31 On the evening of that day the first day of the week the doors being shut where
the disciples were for fear of the Jews Jesus came and stood among them and
said to them Peace be with you When He had said this He showed them His
hands and His side Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord Jesus
said to them again Peace be with you As the Father has sent me even so I send
you And when He had said this He breathed on them and said to them
Receive the Holy Spirit If you forgive the sins of any they are forgiven if you
retain the sins of any they are retained

came So the other disciples told him We have seen the Lord But he said to
them Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails and place my finger in the
mark of the nails and place my hand in His side I will not believe
Eight days later His disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with
them The doors were shut but Jesus came and stood among them and said
Peace be with you Then He said to Thomas Put your finger here and see
my hands and put out your hand and place it in my side do not be faithless
but believing Thomas answered Him My Lord and my God Jesus said to
Him Have you believed because you have seen me Blessed are those who have
not seen and yet believe
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not
written in this book but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ the Son of God and that believing you may have life in His name

αὐτοῖς εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ ἐχάρησαν
οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες τὸν Κύριον εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς πάλιν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέ
με ὁ πατήρ κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησε καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς λάβετε Πνεῦμα
῞Αγιον ἄν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἀφίενται αὐτοῖς ἄν τινων κρατῆτε κεκράτηνται
Θωμᾶς δὲ εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος οὐκ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὅτε ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἔλεγον
οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄλλοι μαθηταί ἑωράκαμεν τὸν Κύριον ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν
αὐτοῦ τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὸν δάκτυλόν μου εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὴν
χεῖρά μου εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσω Καὶ μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ πάλιν ἦσαν ἔσω οἱ
μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ Θωμᾶς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἔρχεται ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ
μέσον καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν εἶτα λέγει τῷ Θωμᾷ φέρε τὸν δάκτυλόν σου ὧδε καὶ ἴδε τὰς χεῖράς μου
καὶ φέρε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ βάλε εἰς τὴν πλευράν μου καὶ μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος ἀλλὰ πιστός καὶ
ἀπεκρίθη Θωμᾶς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὅτι ἑώρακάς
με πεπίστευκας μακάριοι οἱ μὴ ἰδόντες καὶ πιστεύσαντες Πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄλλα σημεῖα
ἐποίησεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐνώπιον τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἃ οὐκ ἔστι γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ ταῦτα
δὲ γέγραπται ἵνα πιστεύσητε ὅτι ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἵνα πιστεύοντες ζωὴν
ἔχητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ

TODAY WE REMEMBER
Thomas Sunday Reading Though the doors were shut at the dwelling where the disciples were
gathered for fear of the Jews on the evening of the Sunday after the Passover our
Saviour wondrously entered and stood in their midst and greeted them with His
customary words Peace be unto you Then He showed unto them His hands and
feet and side furthermore in their presence He took some fish and a honeycomb
and ate before them and thus assured them of His bodily Resurrection But
Thomas who was not then present with the others did not believe their testimony
concerning Christs Resurrection but said in a decisive manner Except I shall
see in His hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the
nails and thrust my hand into His side I will not believe Wherefore after eight
days that is on this day when the disciples were again gathered together and
Thomas was with them the Lord Jesus came while the doors were shut as He did
formerly Standing in their midst He said Peace be unto you then He said to
Thomas Bring hither thy finger and behold my hands and bring hither thy
hand and thrust it into My side and be not unbelieving but believing
And Thomas beholding and examining carefully the hands and side of the Mas-
ter cried out with faith My Lord and my God Thus he clearly proclaimed the
two natures - human and divine - of the God-man (Luke 2436-49 John 2019-
29)
This day is called Antipascha (meaning in the stead of Pascha not in opposi-
tion to Pascha) because with this day the first Sunday after Pascha the Church
consecrates every Sunday of the year to the commemoration of Pascha that is the
Resurrection
Apolytikion in the Grave Tone Whilst the tomb was sealed Thou O Life
didst shine forth from the grave O Christ God and whilst the doors were shut
Thou didst come unto Thy disciples O Resurrection of all renewing through
them an upright Spirit in us according to Thy great mercy
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone With his searching right hand
Thomas did probe Thy lifebestowing side O Christ God for when Thou didst
enter whilst the doors were shut he cried out unto Thee with the rest of the Apos-
tles Thou art my Lord and my God
We Also Remember
Theodore the Sykeote
Nathaniel Luke amp Clemente the Apostles
Nearchos the Martyr
Epistle Reading
The Reading is from St Pauls
Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from Acts of the Apostles 512-20
IN THOSE DAYS many signs and wonders were done among the people by
the hands of the apostles And they were all together in Solomons Portico
None of the rest dared join them but the people held them in high honor
And more than ever believers were added to the Lord multitudes both of
men and women so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and
laid them on beds and pallets that as Peter came by at least his shadow
might fall on some of them The people also gathered from the towns around
Jerusalem bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits and they
were all healed But the high priest rose up and all who were with him that
is the party of the Sadducees and filled with jealousy they arrested the apos-
tles and put them in the common prison But at night an angel of the Lord
opened the prison doors and brought them out and said Go and stand in
the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from John 2019-31 On the evening of that day the first day of the week the doors being shut where
the disciples were for fear of the Jews Jesus came and stood among them and
said to them Peace be with you When He had said this He showed them His
hands and His side Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord Jesus
said to them again Peace be with you As the Father has sent me even so I send
you And when He had said this He breathed on them and said to them
Receive the Holy Spirit If you forgive the sins of any they are forgiven if you
retain the sins of any they are retained
Now Thomas one of the twelve called the Twin was not with them when Jesus
came So the other disciples told him We have seen the Lord But he said to
them Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails and place my finger in the
mark of the nails and place my hand in His side I will not believe
Eight days later His disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with
them The doors were shut but Jesus came and stood among them and said
Peace be with you Then He said to Thomas Put your finger here and see
my hands and put out your hand and place it in my side do not be faithless
but believing Thomas answered Him My Lord and my God Jesus said to
Him Have you believed because you have seen me Blessed are those who have
not seen and yet believe
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not
written in this book but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ the Son of God and that believing you may have life in His name

Οὔσης οὖν ὀψίας τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων ὅπου ἦσαν οἱ
μαθηταὶ συνηγμένοι διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον καὶ λέγει
αὐτοῖς εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ ἐχάρησαν
οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες τὸν Κύριον εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς πάλιν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέ
με ὁ πατήρ κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησε καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς λάβετε Πνεῦμα

Θωμᾶς δὲ εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος οὐκ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὅτε ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἔλεγον
οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄλλοι μαθηταί ἑωράκαμεν τὸν Κύριον ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν
αὐτοῦ τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὸν δάκτυλόν μου εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὴν
χεῖρά μου εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσω Καὶ μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ πάλιν ἦσαν ἔσω οἱ
μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ Θωμᾶς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἔρχεται ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ
μέσον καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν εἶτα λέγει τῷ Θωμᾷ φέρε τὸν δάκτυλόν σου ὧδε καὶ ἴδε τὰς χεῖράς μου
καὶ φέρε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ βάλε εἰς τὴν πλευράν μου καὶ μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος ἀλλὰ πιστός καὶ
ἀπεκρίθη Θωμᾶς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὅτι ἑώρακάς
με πεπίστευκας μακάριοι οἱ μὴ ἰδόντες καὶ πιστεύσαντες Πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄλλα σημεῖα
ἐποίησεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐνώπιον τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἃ οὐκ ἔστι γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ ταῦτα
δὲ γέγραπται ἵνα πιστεύσητε ὅτι ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἵνα πιστεύοντες ζωὴν

Epistle Reading
The Reading is from St Pauls
Second Letter to Timothy 310-15
The Reading is from Acts of the Apostles 512-20
IN THOSE DAYS many signs and wonders were done among the people by
the hands of the apostles And they were all together in Solomons Portico
None of the rest dared join them but the people held them in high honor
And more than ever believers were added to the Lord multitudes both of
men and women so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and
laid them on beds and pallets that as Peter came by at least his shadow
might fall on some of them The people also gathered from the towns around
Jerusalem bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits and they
were all healed But the high priest rose up and all who were with him that
is the party of the Sadducees and filled with jealousy they arrested the apos-
tles and put them in the common prison But at night an angel of the Lord
opened the prison doors and brought them out and said Go and stand in
the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life

Gospel Reading
The Reading is from John 2019-31 On the evening of that day the first day of the week the doors being shut where
the disciples were for fear of the Jews Jesus came and stood among them and
said to them Peace be with you When He had said this He showed them His
hands and His side Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord Jesus
said to them again Peace be with you As the Father has sent me even so I send
you And when He had said this He breathed on them and said to them
Receive the Holy Spirit If you forgive the sins of any they are forgiven if you
retain the sins of any they are retained
Now Thomas one of the twelve called the Twin was not with them when Jesus
came So the other disciples told him We have seen the Lord But he said to
them Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails and place my finger in the
mark of the nails and place my hand in His side I will not believe
Eight days later His disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with
them The doors were shut but Jesus came and stood among them and said
Peace be with you Then He said to Thomas Put your finger here and see
my hands and put out your hand and place it in my side do not be faithless
but believing Thomas answered Him My Lord and my God Jesus said to
Him Have you believed because you have seen me Blessed are those who have
not seen and yet believe
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples which are not
written in this book but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the
Christ the Son of God and that believing you may have life in His name
Α Ω
Οὔσης οὖν ὀψίας τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων ὅπου ἦσαν οἱ
μαθηταὶ συνηγμένοι διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον καὶ λέγει
αὐτοῖς εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ ἐχάρησαν
οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες τὸν Κύριον εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς πάλιν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέ
με ὁ πατήρ κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησε καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς λάβετε Πνεῦμα
῞Αγιον ἄν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἀφίενται αὐτοῖς ἄν τινων κρατῆτε κεκράτηνται
Θωμᾶς δὲ εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος οὐκ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὅτε ἦλθεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἔλεγον
οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄλλοι μαθηταί ἑωράκαμεν τὸν Κύριον ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν
αὐτοῦ τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὸν δάκτυλόν μου εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὴν
χεῖρά μου εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσω Καὶ μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ πάλιν ἦσαν ἔσω οἱ
μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ Θωμᾶς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἔρχεται ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ
μέσον καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη ὑμῖν εἶτα λέγει τῷ Θωμᾷ φέρε τὸν δάκτυλόν σου ὧδε καὶ ἴδε τὰς χεῖράς μου
καὶ φέρε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ βάλε εἰς τὴν πλευράν μου καὶ μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος ἀλλὰ πιστός καὶ
ἀπεκρίθη Θωμᾶς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ ὁ Θεός μου λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ὅτι ἑώρακάς
με πεπίστευκας μακάριοι οἱ μὴ ἰδόντες καὶ πιστεύσαντες Πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄλλα σημεῖα
ἐποίησεν ὁ ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐνώπιον τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἃ οὐκ ἔστι γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ ταῦτα
δὲ γέγραπται ἵνα πιστεύσητε ὅτι ᾿Ιησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἵνα πιστεύοντες ζωὴν
ἔχητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ
