OET (OET-LV) Thereafter he_is_saying to_ the _Thōmas:
Be_bringing the finger of_you here, and see the hands of_me, and be_bringing the hand of_you, and put it into the side of_me, and be_ not _becoming unbelieving, but believing.
OET (OET-RV) Yeshua came and stood in the middle of the room even though the doors were shut, and said, “Peace to you all.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει
˱he˲_/is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὧδε
here
Jesus uses here to refer to the places on his hands where there were holes. These holes in Jesus’ hands were made by the nails that soldiers used to crucify him. If this might confuse your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “in these holes”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὰς χεῖράς μου
the hands ˱of˲_me
Jesus uses my hands to refer to the holes in Jesus’ hands that were made by the nails that soldiers used to crucify him. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the nail marks in my hands”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν πλευράν μου
the the side ˱of˲_me
Jesus uses my side to refer to the wound that a Roman soldier made in his side with a spear. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the spear wound in his side”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος, ἀλλὰ πιστός
not /be/_becoming unbelieving but believing
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that Jesus wants Thomas to believe that he has become alive again. If your language does not use repetition to do this, you could use one phrase and provide emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “you absolutely must believe”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος, ἀλλὰ πιστός
not /be/_becoming unbelieving but believing
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “do not be unbelieving that I have become alive again, but believe it”
20:26-27 Eight days later was Sunday, one week after Jesus’ resurrection (it was customary to include the current day when counting forward). Jesus’ appearance on the following Sunday helps explain the disciples’ meeting on “the Lord’s Day” (see Rev 1:10).
• Peace be with you: This scene was exactly like Jesus’ first appearance (John 20:19-20). Jesus had already heard Thomas’s complaint and now answered directly.
• Believe! Jesus challenged Thomas to believe in the resurrection like the others.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
