Fingerprints have long been used as a means of identification. One of the first recorded uses of fingerprints in this manner was in the 1850s, when Sir William James Herschel, a British magistrate in India, had a local businessman place an inked handprint on a document as a means of verifying his signature. Since then fingerprinting has become increasingly common, and the technology used for fingerprinting has also advanced with the times, with the old ink and paper style giving way to computer fingerprint scanning. I even have a computer rendering of my fingerprint on my Permanent Resident Card. Despite these changes, the underlying principle of matching an individual to their fingerprint has not changed.
When Jesus appeared to his disciples after the resurrection, he had a new "fingerprint" of his own, one that would identify him throughout history: "He showed them his hands and his side" (v. 20).
