19 Ao cair da tarde daquele dia, o primeiro da semana, estando trancadas as portas da casa onde estavam os discípulos, com medo dos judeus, Jesus veio e se pôs no meio deles, dizendo:

— Que a paz esteja com vocês!

20 E, dizendo isso, lhes mostrou as mãos e o lado. Então os discípulos se alegraram ao ver o Senhor. 21 E Jesus lhes disse outra vez:

— Que a paz esteja com vocês! Assim como o Pai me enviou, eu também envio vocês.

22 E, havendo dito isso, soprou sobre eles e disse-lhes:

— Recebam o Espírito Santo. 23 Se de alguns vocês perdoarem os pecados, são-lhes perdoados; mas, se os retiverem, são retidos.

19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the middle, and said to them, Peace be to you.

20 And when he had so said, he showed to them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be to you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive you the Holy Ghost:

23 Whose soever sins you remit, they are remitted to them; and whose soever sins you retain, they are retained.
