Thomas.
Thomas, one of Jesus' 12 disciple's
Doubting Thomas, from the disciple who would not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead until he saw Him.
Thomas DID believe when Jesus was risen. He didn't believe when his friends TOLD him Jesus was risen. After Thomas saw the crucifixion scars on Jesus' body, and saw Him standing there breathing and palpable, he believed - thoroughly.
When Thomas heard about Jesus resurrection from other disciples, he said: "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."- John 20:25But when he saw the Lord, he said: " My Lord and my God"- John 20:28
Thomas, also known as Doubting Thomas, did not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead until he saw and touched Jesus's wounds for himself. Jesus appeared to Thomas and invited him to touch his wounds, after which Thomas declared his belief.
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.
The apostle was Thomas also none as doubting Thomas. Because he did not believe the other apostles we they told him about seeing Jesus after the Resurrection. Then Jesus appeared to Thomas and asked him to put his fingers in the holes in his hands and put his hand in the hole in his side,
The apostle Thomas first failed to believe that the other disciples had seen Jesus after he was crucified. But as he refused to believe them, he is refered to as the doubting Thomas.
he was apoor begger until people saw him perform miracles
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.
The phrase "seeing is believing" is commonly attributed to Saint Thomas, who was a disciple of Jesus. It reflects his initial doubt about Jesus' resurrection until he physically saw and touched Jesus.
When Jesus returned to Nazareth, the people there did not believe in him and rejected his teachings because they saw him as just a carpenter's son.
