OET (OET-RV)so the other trainees told him, “We have seen the master.”
¶ But he replied, “I won’t believe that unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and I can put my finger into the marks and can put my hand into the gash on his side.”

OET-LVTherefore the other apprentices/followers were_saying to_him:
We_have_seen the master.
But he said to_them:
If I_may_ not _see the mark of_the nails in the hands of_him, and I_may_put the finger of_me into the mark of_the nails, and I_may_put the hand of_me into the side of_him, by_no_means I will_ not _be_believing.

SR-GNTἜλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄλλοι μαθηταί, “Ἑωράκαμεν τὸν ˚Κύριον.” δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων, καὶ βάλω τὸν δάκτυλόν μου εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων, καὶ βάλω μου τὴν χεῖραν εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσω.”

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

20:24-25 Thomas: See also 11:16; 14:5). Thomas was absent when Jesus revealed himself. He remained skeptical despite the testimony of his friends, who had seen the Lord. Thomas demanded a concrete experience identical to theirs.
