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

20 And having said this, he showed them [his] hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

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

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on [them] and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit;

23 unto those whose sins ye release, they shall be released; [and] unto those whose [sins] ye retain, they shall be retained.
