19 Nesse dia, que era o primeiro da semana, à tarde, trancadas as portas da casa onde se achavam os discípulos, por medo que tinham dos judeus, veio Jesus, e pôs-se no meio deles e disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco.

20 Dito isto, mostrou-lhes as mãos e o lado. Os discípulos alegraram-se muito ao verem o Senhor.

21 Jesus de novo disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco; como o Pai me enviou a mim, assim eu vos envio a vós.

22 Dito isto, soprou sobre eles e disse-lhes: Recebei o Espírito Santo.

23 Àqueles a quem perdoardes os pecados, lhes serão perdoados; e àqueles a quem os retiverdes, lhes serão retidos.

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: 23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
