On the evening
of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the
disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them
and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he
showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when
they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when he had
said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy
Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you
retain the sins of any, they are retained."
John 20:19-23 |
