Jesus appears to Thomas
Thomas had missed the first appearance and said he would not believe without touching the wounds. A week later Jesus came again, invited Thomas to do exactly that, and Thomas answered with the fullest confession in the Gospels, calling Jesus his Lord and his God.

The Great Commission
The risen Jesus commissioned His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey everything He commanded, with the promise that He is with them always.

Jesus
Jesus of Nazareth is the center of the Christian faith and of FaithGraph. The Gospels present Him as the promised Messiah of Israel, the eternal Word made flesh, who taught, healed, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, rose bodily on the third day, and commissioned His followers to carry the good news to all nations.

John the apostle
John was a Galilean fisherman, the brother of James and son of Zebedee, called by Jesus beside the Sea of Galilee. With Peter and James he witnessed the raising of Jairus's daughter and the transfiguration, and Christian tradition identifies him with the disciple whom Jesus loved and with the author of the fourth Gospel.

Peter
Peter, originally Simon, was a fisherman from Galilee whom Jesus called to follow Him and renamed Peter. He confessed Jesus as the Christ, denied Him during the trial, was restored after the resurrection, and preached the first sermon at Pentecost.
