And that's how it happened. He was caught, the people of the priests took hold of him -- they had found a stranger amongst them. They asked him, "Who are you? Are you with this madman who thinks he is the son of God?"
He said, "No, I don't know who this man is. I am a stranger in this city. And seeing the light" -- because they were all carrying torches -- "I have just followed to find some place. I don't know the city and its whereabouts."

And you will be surprised to know that Indian Christianity is the oldest Christianity in the world. The Vatican is not that old. The popes came into existence after Jesus' so-called crucifixion had happened -- three hundred years afterwards. But Thomas started working in South India, and must have been the only authentic
