Son of his Father: The Heir and Prince
John 20, says that TEN of the disciples received the Holy Spirit from Jesus. Thomas was not one of those ten (remember that the twelfth disciple was Judas but he was dead before this point in time)

((Verse 24 states ‘one of the twelve’ without Thomas. But was another disciple chosen before the council where Mathias was chosen? (Acts 1:26) ))

- 19On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
- 21Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”22And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
- Jesus Appears to Thomas
- 24Now Thomas (also known as Didymus a), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
- But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
