At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

20

And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

21

And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

22

And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

23

Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.
