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 It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace to you;

20 and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

21 Jesus, therefore, said to them again, Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;

22 and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, Receive the Holy Spirit;

23 if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.
