18 Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
19 When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first day of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace be to you.
20 And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, Peace be to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.
22 And having said this, he breathed into them, and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit:
23 whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
