Gospels and Acts of the Apostles

Did Thomas overcome his doubt?

Jesus appeared to the apostles again. This time Thomas was with them, and he saw Jesus for himself. Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas exclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” (NRSV, John 20:27–28) So Thomas overcame his doubt, but got the nickname anyway.
