19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, "Peace be to you."

20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit! 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained."

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.
