然后对多马说：“把你的指头放在这里，看看我的手吧！伸出你的手来，探探我的肋旁！不要疑惑，只要信！”

父差遣子作世人的救主，这是我们见过的，并且现在作见证。

你们看我的手、我的脚，就知道我是谁。摸我看看，灵没有骨，没有肉；你们看，我是有的。”

我们从前把我们主耶稣基督的大能和降临的事告诉你们，并不是随从巧妙捏造传奇的故事，我们却是亲眼看见过他威荣的人。因为他从父神得着尊贵荣耀的时候，在极显赫的荣光中，有这样的声音对他说：“这是我的爱子，我所喜悦的。”这从天上发出来的声音，是我们和他同在圣山上的时候，亲自听见过的。

我看见了他，就仆倒在他脚前，像死了一样。他用右手按着我，说：“不要怕！我是首先的，我是末后的，又是永活的；我曾经死过，看哪，现在又活着，直活到永永远远，并且拿着死亡和阴间的钥匙。

“你要写信给在士每拿教会的使者，说：‘那首先的、末后的、曾经死去而又活过来的，这样说：

他受难以后，用许多凭据向使徒显示自己是活着的。他向使徒显现，并且讲论神的国的事，有四十天之久。

他身穿一件浸过血的衣服，他的名字称为“神的道”。

原来作见证的有三样，

伯利恒以法他啊！你在犹大诸城中虽然细小（“伯利恒……细小”有古卷作“以法他家啊，你在犹大诸族中虽然细小”），必有一位从你那里出来，为我作以色列的统治者；他的根源从太初，从亘古就有了。（本节在《马索拉文本》为5:1）

父老们，我写信给你们，因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位。青年们，我写信给你们，因为你们已经胜过那恶者。孩子们，我写信给你们，因为你们认识父。父老们，我写信给你们，因为你们认识太初就存在的那一位。青年们，我写信给你们，因为你们强壮，神的道在你们心里，你们也胜过了那恶者。

谁定这事并且作成？谁从起初预定万代呢？就是我耶和华，我是首先的，与最后的人同在的，也是我。

在耶和华创造的开始，在太初创造一切以先，就有了我。在亘古、在太初，在未有大地之前，我已经被立；没有深渊，没有大水的泉源以先，我已经出生。大山未曾奠定，小山未有以先，我已经出生。那时，耶和华还没有造大地和田野，也没有造地上的泥土。他立定诸天的时候，我在那里；他在渊面上界划地平线的时候，我在那里；他上使穹苍坚固，下使深渊的水泉稳定；他为海洋定出界限，海水不能越过他的命令，他又划定大地的根基；那时，我在他身边作工匠，每天都充满喜乐，时常在他面前欢笑，在他的大地上欢笑，和世人一同喜乐。

说：“你所看见的，要写在书上，也要寄给以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推拉、撒狄、非拉铁非、老底嘉七个教会。”

那看见这事的人已经作证了，他的见证是真实的，他也知道自己所说的是实在的，使你们也相信。
