19 Being then evening in the day that the first of the week, and the doors having been shut, where were the disciples having been assembled, through the fear of the Jews, came the Jesus, and stood into the midst, and says to them: Peace to you.

20 And this having said, he showed to them the hands and the side of himself. Were glad therefore the disciples, seeing the Lord.

21 Said then to them the Jesus again: Peace to you; as sent me the Father, also I send you.

22 And this having said, he breathed on, and says to them: Receive you a spirit holy.

23 If of whom you may forgive the sins, they are forgiven them; if of whom you may retain, they have been retained.

19 It was evening of the first day of the week. The disciples shut the doors where they stayed for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: »May you have Peace.«

20 When he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were glad, when they saw the Lord.

21 Jesus therefore said to them again: »May you have peace. As the Father sent me, even so I send you.«

22 After he said this he breathed on them and said: »Receive Holy Spirit.

23 »Forgive sins and they are forgiven. Do not forgive sins and they are not forgiven.«
