19 It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them,"Peace be with you."

20 After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side, and when they saw the Lord the disciples were overjoyed.

21 Jesus said to them again,"Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."

22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,"Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven. If you retain people's sins, they are retained."

19 Ao cair da tarde daquele primeiro dia da semana, estando os discípulos reunidos a portas trancadas, por medo dos judeus, Jesus entrou, pôs-se no meio deles e disse: "Paz seja com vocês! "

20 Tendo dito isso, mostrou-lhes as mãos e o lado. Os discípulos alegraram-se quando viram o Senhor.

21 Novamente Jesus disse: "Paz seja com vocês! Assim como o Pai me enviou, eu os envio".

22 E com isso, soprou sobre eles e disse: "Recebam o Espírito Santo.

23 Se perdoarem os pecados de alguém, estarão perdoados; se não os perdoarem, não estarão perdoados".
