19

Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

20

And when he had so said, he shewed unto them [his] hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

21

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22

And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23

Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
