19 Chegada, pois, a tarde, naquele dia, o primeiro da semana, e estando os discípulos reunidos com as portas cerradas por medo dos judeus, chegou Jesus, pôs-se no meio e disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco.
20 Dito isto, mostrou-lhes as mãos e o lado. Alegraram-se, pois, os discípulos ao verem o Senhor.
21 Disse-lhes, então, Jesus segunda vez: Paz seja convosco; assim como o Pai me enviou, também eu vos envio a vós.
22 E havendo dito isso, assoprou sobre eles, e disse-lhes: Recebei o Espírito Santo.
23 Àqueles a quem perdoardes os pecados, são-lhes perdoados; e àqueles a quem os retiverdes, são-lhes retidos.
19 It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace to you;
20 and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.
21 Jesus, therefore, said to them again, Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;
22 and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, Receive the Holy Spirit;
23 if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.
