John 20:19-23

19When 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.

20And 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.

22And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

23whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
