| 19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when
the disciples were together, with the doors locked
for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among
them and said, \"Peace be with you!\"
20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and
side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw
the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, \"Peace be with you! As the
Father has sent me, I am sending you.\"
22 And with that he breathed on them and said,
\"Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if
you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.\"
