And the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father. I also will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”Judas( not Iscariot) said to Him,“ Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”Jesus answered,“ If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.

Therefore some of His disciples said to one another,“ What is this He tells us:‘ A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’; and,‘ because I am going to the Father’?”They said,“ What is this He is saying,‘ A little while’? We don’t know what He’s talking about!”Jesus knew they wanted to question Him, so He said to them,“ Are you asking one another about what I said,‘ A little while and you will not see Me; again a little while and you will see Me’?

John 20:19-29
In the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them,“ Peace to you!”Having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.Jesus said to them again,“ Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”After saying this, He breathed on them and said,“ Receive the Holy Spirit.If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”But one of the Twelve, Thomas( called“ Twin”), was not with them when Jesus came.So the other disciples kept telling him,“ We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them,“ If I don’t see the mark of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe!”After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said,“ Peace to you!”Then He said to Thomas,“ Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.”Thomas responded to Him,“ My Lord and my God!”Jesus said,“ Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Those who believe without seeing are blessed.”

John 21:1-23
After this, Jesus revealed Himself again to His disciples by the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed Himself in this way:Simon Peter, Thomas( called“ Twin”), Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, Zebedee’s sons, and two others of His disciples were together.“ I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.“ We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.When daybreak came, Jesus stood on the shore. However, the disciples did not know it was Jesus.“ Men,” Jesus called to them,“ you don’t have any fish, do you?”“ No,” they answered.“ Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them,“ and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.Therefore the disciple, the one Jesus loved, said to Peter,“ It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tied his outer garment around him( for he was stripped) and plunged into the sea.But since they were not far from land( about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish.When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread.“ Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them.So Simon Peter got up and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish— 153 of them. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.“ Come and have breakfast,” Jesus told them. None of the disciples dared ask Him,“ Who are You?” because they knew it was the Lord.Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.This was now the third time Jesus appeared to the disciples after He was raised from the dead.When they had eaten breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter,“ Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?”“ Yes, Lord,” he said to Him,“ You know that I love You.”“ Feed My lambs,” He told him.A second time He asked him,“ Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”“ Yes, Lord,” he said to Him,“ You know that I love You.”“ Shepherd My sheep,” He told him.He asked him the third time,“ Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved that He asked him the third time,“ Do you love Me?” He said,“ Lord, You know everything! You know that I love You.”“ Feed My sheep,” Jesus said.“ I assure you: When you were young, you would tie your belt and walk wherever you wanted. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will tie you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”He said this to signify by what kind of death he would glorify God. After saying this, He told him,“ Follow Me!”So Peter turned around and saw the disciple Jesus loved following them. That disciple was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and asked,“ Lord, who is the one that’s going to betray You?”When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus,“ Lord— what about him?”“ If I want him to remain until I come,” Jesus answered,“ what is that to you? As for you, follow Me.”So this report spread to the brothers that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but,“ If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?”

and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.Then He appeared to over 500 brothers at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.Then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.Last of all, as to one abnormally born, He also appeared to me.For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
