English Standard Version
I know I say this a million times, but if you were making this up, would you include the detail that some doubted him here at the end of the Gospel? You'd probably want to finish stronger, right? But this is what happened -- some doubted, despite having met the resurrected Jesus. They'd seen him crucified, they'd seen him resurrected... but they still doubted, because dead people don't come back to life, right?
Despite their doubts, they still followed him here to Galilee. They had questions, but still wanted to learn more, still wanted to be around Jesus -- he was compelling to them, even if they weren't certain of his identity.
So do you have doubts? There's still room in the community of believers for you, for we become disciples as we travel with Jesus. We learn as we go, growing in faith. And Jesus is with us, every step of the way.
