19 Now when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.
Cum ergo sero esset die illo, una sabbatorum, et fores essent clausae, ubi erant discipuli congregati propter metum Judaeorum : venit Jesus, et stetit in medio, et dixit eis : Pax vobis.
20 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
Et cum hoc dixisset, ostendit eis manus et latus. Gavisi sunt discipuli, viso Domino.
21 He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.
Dixit ergo eis iterum : Pax vobis. Sicut misit me Pater, et ego mitto vos.
22 When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
Haec cum dixisset, insufflavit, et dixit eis : Accipite Spiritum Sanctum :
23 Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
quorum remiseritis peccata, remittuntur eis : et quorum retinueritis, retenta sunt.
24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Thomas autem unus ex duodecim, qui dicitur Didymus, non erat cum eis quando venit Jesus.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
Dixerunt ergo ei alii discipuli : Vidimus Dominum. Ille autem dixit eis : Nisi videro in manibus ejus fixuram clavorum, et mittam digitum meum in locum clavorum, et mittam manum meam in latus ejus, non credam.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.
Et post dies octo, iterum erant discipuli ejus intus, et Thomas cum eis. Venit Jesus januis clausis, et stetit in medio, et dixit : Pax vobis.
27 Then he saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither, and see my hands; and bring hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.
Deinde dicit Thomae : Infer digitum tuum huc, et vide manus meas, et affer manum tuam, et mitte in latus meum : et noli esse incredulus, sed fidelis.
28 Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God.
Respondit Thomas, et dixit ei : Dominus meus et Deus meus.
29 Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed.
Dixit ei Jesus : Quia vidisti me, Thoma, credidisti : beati qui non viderunt, et crediderunt.
30 Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
Multa quidem et alia signa fecit Jesus in conspectu discipulorum suorum, quae non sunt scripta in libro hoc.
31 But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name.
Haec autem scripta sunt ut credatis, quia Jesus est Christus Filius Dei : et ut credentes, vitam habeatis in nomine ejus.
[19] "The doors were shut": The same power which could bring Christ's whole body, entire in all its dimensions, through the doors, can without the least question make the same body really present in the sacrament; though both the one and the other be above our comprehension.
