Then, Thomas answered as if he really believed what was in front of him (John 20:28)
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
To which Jesus replied
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
As Jesus only addresses the component of the vision, does it mean that for Thomas that was enough?
