Wait! WHAT? Detail of scripture. Many give Thomas a rough time, singling him out from the other disciples because he wanted to see Jesus’ hands and side. However. We fail to note, that the others had already seen Jesus, “He showed them His hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.” (John 20:20). Thomas wasn’t there. We may not know the whole conversation the disciples had with Thomas. Perhaps, (just an observation) their seeing Jesus’ hands and side, triggered their belief - “We have seen the Lord!” When Jesus appeared again to them (Thomas included this time) He offered His hands and side to Thomas (v27) the others had already seen. Jesus knew, knew the men, each one of them.
