John 20:19-23

19So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for 1fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “23Peace be with you.” 20And when He had said this, 4He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then 5rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21So Jesus said to them again, “6Peace be with you; 7as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 238If you forgive the sins of any, their sins 9have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
