‏ John 20:29

Thou hast believed ( πεπιστευκας ). Perfect active indicative. Probably interrogative, but "it was sight, not touch that convinced Thomas" (Bernard).

And yet ( κα ). Clear use of κα in the adversative sense. Thomas made a noble confession, but he missed the highest form of faith without the evidence of the senses. Peter (1Pe 1:8) uses language that seems like a reminiscence of the words of Jesus to Thomas which Peter heard.
