Thomas is commonly referred to as the doubtful disciple. This is because he refused to believe that Jesus had resurrected until he saw it with his own eyes.
Thomas, also known as Doubting Thomas, was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He is known for initially doubting Jesus' resurrection until he saw and touched his wounds. Thomas is also known for his bold statement, "My Lord and my God," upon seeing Jesus.
In John's Gospel, and John's Gospel alone, the apostle Thomas is portrayed as doubting that Jesus was risen. Elaine Pagels says that there is an anti-Thomas theme in this gospel, that is absent from the other New Testament gospels.
Jesus' disciples were a group of twelve individuals chosen by Jesus to be his closest followers and companions during his ministry. They traveled with him, learned from his teachings, and witnessed his miracles. Some of the most well-known disciples include Peter, James, John, and Judas Iscariot.
Jesus needed patience in dealing with his disciples because they were human, prone to making mistakes and misunderstanding his teachings. He knew that they were still learning and growing in their faith, so he showed them grace and understanding as they navigated their journey with him. Ultimately, his patience helped to strengthen their relationship and deepen their understanding of his message.
The apostles were not blood-related but were selected by Jesus to be his closest followers and to spread his teachings. They came from various backgrounds and regions, united in their belief in Jesus as the Son of God.
The names of the descendants of Jesus are not fully documented in historical records. The Bible mentions some figures such as David, Solomon, and Nathan in Jesus's lineage, but exact names of all descendants are not known.

I believe scripture says that Thomas, along with some of the other disciples, went back to fishing after Jesus' death. Thomas is most noted for his reaction to the resurrection of Christ. When Jesus first appeared to His disciples after His resurrection, Thomas was not there. Upon being told of the story, Thomas declared that he would not believe unless he could put his hand in the wounds in Jesus' hands and side. Jesus reappeared to His disciples and this time Thomas was there. Jesus told Thomas to go ahead and touch His hands and His side, and to believe. When Thomas saw Christ he bowed down to worship Him as Lord and God. What a great story. Even more, Jesus declared that those of us who believe without seeing are truly blessed.

Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, believed that Jesus had taught some of the greatest moral principles, but that the four evangelists had added false stories of miracles and claims that Jesus was divine. He sought to promote the morals of the ancient philosophers, Jewish ethics and the teachings of Jesus.
Ye Must Be Born Again is the most important teaching of Jesus (John 3:3).
Doubting Thomas is so called because unlike the other apostles, he refused to believe Jesus had risen from the dead without solid proof in front of him own eyes. He could not have faith with out proof. Jesus appeared to some of the disciples, but Thomas was not with them. When the other disciples told him what had happened he rebuked them and said " Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." (John 20:25) Eight days later Jesus appeared to the disciples again and this time Thomas was with them. He stood among them and said "Peace be with you" and then turning to Thomas he said, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Doubt no longer but believe" (John 20:26-29). Thomas then said that because he has seen he could believe. Jesus said to him "You believe because you can see me. Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe". This is where the name Doubting Thomas comes from.
