A man crippled from birth was carried and placed at the gate of the temple called "The Beautiful Gate" everyday to beg for alms from the people who entered the temple. When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms. But Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said, "Look at us"... Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give to you: in the Name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, rise and walk." -- Acts 3: 2-6

Me, Thomas



Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord."
 
But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."


 

Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. 




Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said,
"Peace be with you." 




Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe."


Thomas answered and said to him,
"My Lord and my God!" 

Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."


-- John twenty : twenty.four - twenty.nine
