Thomas, as detailed in the context of the passage below: (That is why we have the saying don't be a douting Thomas!)

John 20:19-2919Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

20And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.

21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, 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.

26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas ed and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Thomas was shocked when Jesus appeared to him after his death. He saw the proof on the hands and feet where Christ was nailed to the cross. This is where the expression 'doubting Thomas' originated from.

While most people believe that Jesus was probably a real, historical person who preached to the Jews during the early first century CE, many do not believe that he was divine or that he was the Son of God. Jews believe that he was a preacher, among the many who wandered through Galilee and Judea during Roman times. Muslims believe that he was an important prophet. Hindus respect Jesus for his teachings, but do not believe that he was divinely inspired. And so on. Atheists also do not believe in Jesus, except that he may have been a first century preacher.
