Epistle: 1 John v: 4-10

A reading from the epistle of blessed John the Apostle:
Dearly beloved: Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ: not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that testifies that Christ is the truth. And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one. And there are three that give testimony on earth, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are one. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because He has testified of His Son. He that believes in the Son of God has the testimony of God in Himself.

Alleluia: Matthew xxviii: 7

Alleluia, alleluia. On the day of My resurrection, says the Lord, I will go before you into Galilee. Alleluia. After eight days, the doors being shut, Jesus stood in the midst of His disciples, and said, "Peace be to you. Alleluia!

Gospel: John xx: 19-31

+   The continuation of the holy Gospel according to John.
At that time, when it was late the 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 of them, and said to them, "Peace be to you." And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. He said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." When He had said this, He breathed upon them, and said to them, "Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them: and whose sins ye shall retain, they are retained.
    Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them "Except that 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."
    And after eight days, again His disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be to you." Then He said to Thomas, "Put in thy finger here, and see My hands, and bring here thy hand, and put it into My side; and be not faithless but believing." Thomas answered, and said to Him, "My Lord and my God." Jesus said to him, "Because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are thy who have not seen Me, yet have believed." Many other signs also Jesus worked in the sight of His disciples, which are not written in this book. 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.

Credo.
