22 When he had said this, he breathed on them. And he said to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Those whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and those whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."
24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus arrived.
25 Therefore, the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I will see in his hands the mark of the nails and place my finger into the place of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will not believe."
26 And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas was with them. Jesus arrived, though the doors had been closed, and he stood in their midst and said, "Peace to you."
27 Next, he said to Thomas: "Look at my hands, and place your finger here; and bring your hand close, and place it at my side. And do not choose to be unbelieving, but faithful."
28 Thomas responded and said to him, "My Lord and my God."
