Thomas would not believe until he had thrust his finger into the wound made by the Roman soldiers. Peter had denied Him in His humiliation and rejection. These painful remembrances came before them in distinct lines. They had been with Him, but they had not known or appreciated Him. But how these things now stirred their hearts as they recognized their unbelief!

Thomas ville ikke tro, før han havde stukket sin finger i det sår, som de romerske soldater havde tilføjet Jesus. Peter havde fornægtet ham under hans ydmygelse og forkastelse. Disse smertelige erindringer meldte sig nu i klar rækkefølge. De havde været sammen med ham, men de havde ikke kendt eller påskønnet ham. Men hvor alt dette nu var bevægende at tænke på, nu, hvor de erkendte deres vantro.
