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.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples, therefore, said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Unless I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And again eight days later, his disciples were within and Thomas with them; then Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then he said to Thomas, Reach here thy finger and behold my hands and reach here thy hand and thrust it into my side and be not unbelieving, but faithful.
