A number of the disciples now made the familiar upper chamber their temporary home, and at evening all except Thomas gathered here. One evening Thomas determined to meet with the others. Notwithstanding his unbelief, he had a faint hope that the good news was true. While the disciples were taking their evening meal, they talked of the evidences which Christ had given them in the prophecies. "Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you."

En synders omvendelse bør af menigheden modtages med taknemmelige hjerter. Den angrende bør føres ud af vantroens mørke ind i troens og retfærdighedens lys. Hans skælvende hånd skal lægges i Jesu kærlige hånd. En sådan syndsforladelse godkendes i Himmelen.
