James Frain: Thomas

Quotes 

• Thomas : Unless I see him, right here before me, *right* here! And unless I see the mark of the nails and put my finger into those wounds

  [Jesus appears behind Thomas] 

  Thomas : I will not believe!

  Jesus : Thomas.

  Thomas : What?

  Jesus : Thomas.

  Thomas : I've got nothing to say on this matter to anyone!

  [turns around] 

  Thomas : Any... any...

  [falls to his knees] 

  Thomas : [softly]  Anyone at all.

  Jesus : Go on

  [draws back sleeve] 

  Jesus : put your finger here. Touch the marks. Don't be a doubter anymore. Believe.

  Thomas : [softly]  My Lord... and my God.

  Jesus : [lifts Thomas to his feet]  Yes, you believe because you've seen me Thomas. But even happier are those who believe without ever seeing me at all.

• Simon Peter : The Lord! I... he was... I thought they'd taken the body!

  James the Disciple : Who?

  Simon Peter : Priests! Romans! But... but he was there! In front of my eyes! In front of me! *This* near! Like...

  Thomas : [irritated]  I cannot believe what I'm hearing.

  [walks toward door] 

  Simon Peter : Thomas! I saw him!

  Thomas : You're all crazy, all of you. Dreams, visions, everyone's going mad.

  [goes to open the door] 

  Thomas : I'm leaving.

  Cleopas : [burst through door, knocking Thomas to the floor]  THE LORD!

  Thomas : Ow!

  Jairus : [breathless]  We... we have...

  Cleopas : [excited]  We've seen him!

• Jesus : [raises bread]  Blessed are you oh Lord our God, who brings forth bread from the earth.

  [breaks bread and passes it] 

  Jesus : Take this and eat. This is... my body. Which is broken for you.

  Thomas : Your body?

  Jesus : Do this in memory of me.

  [lifts cup] 

  Jesus : Drink from this all of you, for this is my blood. My blood which is poured out for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

  [as the cup is passed] 

  Jesus : This is the last time I shall drink wine with you.

  Simon Peter : Master.

  Jesus : Until I drink the new wine with you, in the kingdom of my Father, in heaven.

  Simon Peter : In heaven?

  [frightened] 

  Simon Peter : No. No!
