Can you come to believe for having seen me?
Blessed are those who have believed
though they have not seen me. (1)
Stop doubting and believe. (2)
Doubting is a capacity to understand truth
for you must doubt whether it is true or not.
You also have a capacity to believe
even though you have not seen.
As there are those who do not see though having eyes,
Though having ears, there are those who do not hear, (3)
There are those who believe though not having seen.
From now on, you will see, hear and sense in spirit.
You will see what you cannot see.
You will hear what you cannot hear.
You will understand what you cannot explain with your tongue.
And you will walk in the way you have never walked.
Blessed are those who see without eyes!
Blessed are those who hear without ears!
Blessed are those who understand without words!
I am now walking in the way you have not seen.
Though you have not seen, you can come to believe.
Receive the Holy Spirit (4), the Spirit of truth! (5)
Peace be with you! (6) My peace I give you. (7)
