19 Chegada, pois, a tarde daquele dia, o primeiro da semana, e cerradas as portas onde os discípulos, com medo dos judeus, se tinham ajuntado, chegou Jesus, e pôs-se no meio, e disse-lhes: Paz seja convosco.

20 E, dizendo isto, mostrou-lhes as suas mãos e o lado. De sorte que os discípulos se alegraram, vendo o Senhor.

21 Disse-lhes, pois, Jesus outra vez: Paz seja convosco; assim como o Pai me enviou, também eu vos envio a vós.

22 E, havendo dito isto, assoprou sobre eles e disse-lhes: Recebei o Espírito Santo.

23 Àqueles a quem perdoardes os pecados lhes são perdoados; e àqueles a quem os retiverdes lhes são retidos.

19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, "Peace be to you."

20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit! 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained."
