Thomas in Acts 1
TOM-us
This person shows up in Acts 1:13: “When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
Acts 1:13
“When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.”
