19 When 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.

20 And 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.

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

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

19 Na tarde do mesmo dia, que era o primeiro da semana, os discípulos tinham fechado as portas do lugar onde se achavam, por medo dos judeus. Jesus veio e pôs-se no meio deles. Disse-lhes ele: A paz esteja convosco!

20 Dito isso, mostrou-lhes as mãos e o lado. Os discípulos alegraram-se ao ver o Senhor.

21 Disse-lhes outra vez: A paz esteja convosco! Como o Pai me enviou, assim também eu vos envio a vós.

22 Depois dessas palavras, soprou sobre eles dizendo-lhes: Recebei o Espírito Santo.

23 Àqueles a quem perdoardes os pecados, ser-lhes-ão perdoados; àqueles a quem os retiverdes, ser-lhes-ão retidos.
