Ngakhale makomo anali otsekedwa, Yesu anabwera nayima pakati pawo, ndipo anati, “Mtendere ukhale nanu!” 27 Kenaka anati kwa Tomasi, “Ika chala chako apa; ona manja anga. Tambasula dzanja lako ndi kukhudza mʼnthiti mwanga. Leka kukayika, khulupirira.”

28 Tomasi anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye wanga ndi Mulungu wanga!”
