	Εἰσῆλθε Χριστὸς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων,
	ἐπευλόγησε τοὺς σοφοὺς ἀποστόλους.
	Θωμᾶς ἀπιστεῖ καὶ μαθεῖν καλῶς θέλει·
	ἐλθὼν δ’ ὁ Χριστὸς δεικνύει χεῖρας, πόδας,
	πλευρὰν νυγεῖσαν, καὶ βοᾷ Θωμᾶς τάχει·
	«ὁ Κύριός μου καὶ Θεὸς ζῶν ἐκ τάφου
	καὶ τοὺς θανόντας ἐξεγείρων τῷ Λόγῳ.»
	Αὖθις νέμει τὸ Πνεῦμα Χριστὸς τοῖς φίλοις,
	ἐγκαινίσας δὲ καρδίας ἀποστόλων
	πηγὴν διαυγῆ δεικνύει χαρισμάτων.

Translation(s)	The Lord came forth from locked doors, He blessed the wise Apostles. Thomas mistrusts [him] and wants to examine [him] thoroughly. Christ comes [and] shows him his hands, feet, [5] pierced side, and Thomas quickly cries out: “My Lord and my God, alive from the Grave, [you] raised the dead with the Logos.” Again, Christ bestows the Spirit on [His] beloved [dsciples], in renewing the hearts of the Apostles, [10] he discloses the clear source of graces.

Spingou (ed.), The Visual Culture of Later Byzantium (vol. 2), Cambridge / New York, 1311-1324: 1319 Durch die verschlossnen Türen kam der Herr und segnet der Apostel weise Schar. Thomas mißtraut und will genau erfahren: Christus kommt, zeigt ihm seine Hände, Füße, die Seitenwunde - da ruft Thomas schnell: "Mein Herr und Gott, lebendig aus dem Grab, die Toten weckst Du mit dem Logos auf." Nochmals verleiht den Geist Christus den Freunden, erneuert der apostel Herzen und erschließt somit den klaren Gnadenquell. Language German Source(s) H.
